Locanda Margon

Locanda Margon sits in the vineyard-clad hills of Ravina, just outside Trento, the capital of Trentino, and is owned by Ferrari, the famous house of Trentodoc metodo classico sparkling wine. The setting alone is memorable: a refined dining room with sweeping views over Trento and the Adige Valley, surrounded by the slopes where the grapes for Ferrari's celebrated bubbles are grown. The restaurant holds Michelin recognition for contemporary cuisine that reinterprets Trentino and Italian traditions with finesse, drawing on the region's freshwater fish, Alpine vegetables, mountain cheeses, and seasonal produce. The kitchen's tasting menus are designed in part to showcase the synergy between food and the house's sparkling wines, with pairings such as the Passione Bollicine menu built around the Ferrari range — a rare opportunity to explore how a great metodo classico can carry a full meal. The dining room is elegant and contemporary, the service polished, and the atmosphere quietly celebratory. There is also a more relaxed bistrot for those seeking a lighter experience. Locanda Margon operates with seasonal variations in its opening days, and reservations are essential given its limited seating and strong reputation. The wine list, unsurprisingly, is deep in Trentodoc and Trentino labels — Teroldego, Nosiola, and Müller-Thurgau alongside the Ferrari sparkling wines — with expert guidance on pairings. Expect to spend roughly €110–€170 per person for the tasting experience before wine. Reaching the restaurant means a short drive into the hills above Trento, which adds to the sense of occasion. Locanda Margon suits travellers who want to experience Trentino's finest contemporary cuisine in tandem with the region's signature sparkling wines, in a setting that frames both the valley and the vineyards that define the local culture.
