Terlano is a wine and apple village and is also known as the home of the asparagus
The municipality of Terlano is located along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, in the Val d'Adige valley between Bolzano and Merano. The municipality comprises the main village of Terlano and the localities of Settequerce and Vilpiano.
Two historic buildings can be considered the symbol of Terlano: on the one hand the Gothic parish church that dates back to the 14th century. It boasts a steeple that is one of the highest of South Tyrol and was adorned by red-gleaming porphyry rocks. On the other hand, Neuhaus Castle, also called Maultasch Castle, a ruin towering on a rock spur above Terlano.
Terlano extends on the east side of the Val d'Adige valley and is surrounded by vineyards and apple orchards. In spring these orchards are in full blossom, while from April to May the asparagus attracts attention and is celebrated in the village. Not for nothing the area between Terlano, Vilpiano and Settequerce is considered to be the "golden asparagus triangle", as this royal vegetable thrives well right here.
