Appropriately enough, let me start by relating a recent and successful workshop with our long-standing client Dr. Schär from Burgstall in South Tyrol. The company is renowned as a leading manufacturer of gluten-free foods, and not at all just in Germany. That’s by the by though, because it’s mainly about a very special place where we put our heads together: the mountain hotel Vigilius Mountain Resort in Lana near Merano.
Well, what should I say? The ride in the cable car up to 1500 metres literally lifts you out of the hustle and bustle of the valley, opening up your mind and your ideas. Once at the top, you then find yourself in a location that’s wonderfully secluded. The Vigilius Mountain Resort, designed by the architect Matteo Thun, immediately envelopes you into its own world where nature and the hotel blend seamlessly together.
That’s picture-perfect for a workshop! And ideal for enhancing your thoughts with a far-sighted view of the Dolomites. The Vigilius includes a South Tyrolean parlour with terrace and restaurant looking out towards a majestic mountain panorama during breakfast and evening dining.
The wine selection features the very best South Tyrolean wines, but also reaches out to neighbouring Piedmont, Tuscany and Sicily. I can, without reservation, recommend a visit, whether for your next workshop, or simply because you fancy it.
Until the next Espresso!
Sincerely,
PS: Please give my regards to the charming Vera at reception. That’s the watchword for a good drop of wine at the start of a special experience at 1,500 metres.
