Walcher

Walcher farm distillery history

In 1966 in Eppan, Alfons Walcher begins to lay the foundation stone for the distillery in the Turmbachhof (built around 1190 and formerly the residence of the court clerk). The farm has been in the Walcher family for 9 generations. At that time they already distilled grappa, fruit brandies, herbal schnapps and noble liqueurs. The Walcher estate distillery is located in the largest contiguous eastern cultivation area in South Tyrol. Here, in southern warmth with more than 280 sunny days per year and relatively cool nights, particularly taste-intensive fruits thrive. Walcher takes advantage of this privileged natural location because only fully ripe healthy fruits, if possible from the local region, become the raw materials for their schnapps, liqueurs, grappas or noble brandies.

Walcher today

Products are now successfully sold in 5 continents. Committed to the tradition of good taste and following their professional passion, the Walcher brothers decided in 2017 to establish their own gourmet food specialties factory in Kaltern. Reviving old recipes with new technology to express the unique taste of South Tyrol's south is the goal of the new business. To achieve this goal, the family relies above all on organically grown raw materials and gentle processing without any additives.
