| As
a young fruit and winegrower Alfons Walcher attended the well known
viticulture school in St. Michael on the Etsch River in Trentino.
There he gained the necessary agriculture knowledge and technique in distillation of spirits. With his advanced knowledge the winegrower/student decided to follow his interest in this field utilising the grape waste from his land in the sunny hills of Eppan Berg. |
|
| In
1966 he received his first distillery from Mr Franz Mauracher a wine
grower from Girlan. Since the beginning of the business Alfons has always placed value and care in the selection of the Spirits and constant quality control during and after distillation. The conscience pursuit of rigorous quality control leads to the continual growth and popularity of the Premium Spirits from Alfons Walcher. Through the cooperation of well-known South Tyrolean wine and fruit growing enterprises the quantity production is expanding. The distillation plant takes into consideration the tradition of the house with the latest technical level made possible for the production of Grappa, Fruit Spirits, Spirits and Liqueurs. |
|
| The Turmbachhof in Eppan has now been in the possesion of family Walcher for seven generations. The historic walls of the tower were built in the late 12th Century. It is here in these walls today that you are able to taste test the many different varieties of Premium Liqueurs, spirits and Grappa, that are of course also available for purchase. You will also be able to discuss the methods used and receive expert advice from the Distiller Master himself or from a Walcher family member. | |
