    Gardens, design, food – welcome to South Tyrol

    August 7, 2023 - By 

    Last week I spent three days in a region in Central Europe that is rather unknown by many people outside the German speaking world.

But it really does feel like this huge rite of passage. One that I wasn’t really anticipating? Or, perhaps, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined we’d be here so quickly.
