B, DFRIDAY DAY 4
This morning we arrive in one of Italy's best kept secrets - stunning Merano! In true 'Sound of Music' fashion, this beautiful spa town sits nestled between the Dolomites. The town centre abounds with shops, restaurants and cafés oozing with delicious strudel. In the afternoon, we head to the historic winery of Kettmeir, nestled amongst the vineyards of Alto Adige, where we enjoy a tour and tasting of some top quality wines - the South Tyrolean wines are so good they don't export much as they prefer to keep them for themselves!

Today we drive north towards Moena, based in the heart of the Dolomites, and ascend towards the vibrant town of Canazei. From here it's just a short drive to get to the 'Sella Pass', an incredible viewing platform, from where we can enjoy lunch and appreciate the amazing 360 degree views across the Dolomites' spectacular jagged peaks. We continue down into the alluring Val Gardena, a historic valley known for its wood making traditions and unique and ancient language, Ladin, which is only spoken here. Enjoy a break in the picturesque village of Ortisei and relax over a delicious plate of strudel, or perhaps shop for one of the other local specialities - handmade cuckoo clocks!

Our route this morning takes us past the lesser known but incredibly scenic Lake Molveno, and from here we enjoy the relaxing route taking us through to the back of Lake Garda.
