Gastronomy
Organise your stay to include gourmet eateries as well as the traditional rustic grotto restaurants.
If, like Goethe, you think that life is too short to drink bad wine, then why not seek out Bellinzonese and Upper Ticino region and its excellent wines? The many great quality labels all begin with the grapes. Make sure you stop at one of the many wine-cellars and have a taste, direct from the producer.
Or delve a little deeper, and follow the path that takes you from the Bellinzona area up toward the higher valleys, where its easy to lose yourself in a landscape of farms, vineyards and sublime artistic and natural beauty.
