Nomi: Wine, Cycling Routes and History

Nomi brings together wine, cycling routes, architectural history and nature. If you are looking for hotels in Nomi, you can weigh up these interests as you plan your stay: a cellar tour with a tasting offers a different focus from a cycling route, while historic features can be found both in the town centre and above the town. This lets you connect your choice of destination with specific themes without turning them into a fixed itinerary.

Wine and tastings

The Grigoletti winery in Nomi accepts bookings for cellar tours with wine tastings. The winery’s Classic Wine Experience includes a guided cellar tour and a standing tasting of four wines, accompanied by breadsticks or crackers. The experience therefore combines a wine tasting with a visit to the cellar, while also specifying the tasting format. If you would like to include wine in your travel plans, you can consider booking with the winery.

Cycling and walking routes

There are several different options for cyclists. The cycling route from Rovereto to Nomi is flat and paved throughout; vehicles other than bicycles are not allowed on it. From Nomi, a path through apple trees also leads to the Adige Valley cycling route. The Bicigrill di Nomi is located on the Ciclabile Adige and is set up to welcome, serve, support and provide information to cycling enthusiasts. The cycling theme thus spans a route with clearly specified surface and usage rules, a path through apple trees, and services for cyclists on the Ciclabile Adige.

There is also a distinct landscape to explore on foot: in Nomi, walking paths run between wineries, vineyards and orchards at the foot of Monte Corona. The paths therefore pass through an area where vineyards and orchards are among the defining features. Cycling routes and walking paths offer different perspectives on the landscape, without implying that they follow the same routes.

Town centre, Palazzo Vecchio and castle ruins

Nomi developed around the Palazzo Vecchio, a 15th-century-style building recognisable by its characteristic dry-stone walls. The historic town centre has houses with wall frescoes, decorated portals and arcades beneath the eaves. Two aspects of architectural history sit side by side here: the town’s development around a particular building and the varied details found on the houses in the town centre.

The remains of Castello di Nomi offer another historical perspective. They stand on the rocky spur of Dosso Corona above Nomi. From the ruins, panoramic views stretch across the valley and the nearby castles. The town centre and the castle ruins offer different impressions: here, the architecture of the houses and Palazzo Vecchio; there, views from above across the valley and castles.

Nature and seasonal traditions

The Taio biotope can be reached from Nomi on foot or by bicycle via the Adige Valley cycling route. Taio di Nomi serves as an oasis and resting place for migratory waterbirds along the Verona–Bolzano migration route. This adds a natural aspect connected with bird migration to the architectural and wine-related attractions.

The season can also provide a theme for your visit: during the Christmas season, nativity scenes are set up in Nomi’s hamlets. This seasonal tradition adds its own cultural dimension to the walking routes, architecture, and wine- and cycling-related attractions.
