I can't get enough of Italy in the summer and have now managed to incorporate it into my winter plans with a road trip around South Tyrol. This autonomous region at the northernmost tip of Italy is tucked between Austria, Switzerland and Lombardy and is known for gorgeous scenery thanks to the dramatic Dolomites, glassy mountain lakes and medieval towns. We've only booked accommodation for the first night and don't have much of a plan beyond eating and drinking our way around various mountain restaurants (the region has a smattering of Michelin stars). Riesling and reading are order of the day, along with bracing walks and plenty of fresh air.
