Valais

Here, along the winding banks of the Rhône, you will find vineyards stretching for over one hundred kilometers. Often steep and exposed, the vineyards of Valais cover more than 5,200 hectares, making it the principal wine area of Switzerland. This region counts for nearly 40% of the total wine production, and boasts more than 50 varieties. It is a true paradise for the wine lover who wants to discover interesting and exciting taste sensations. A dry and sunny climate, supplemented by a hot wind called the “Föhn” that accelerates ripening – not to mention great soil diversity – gives the wines of Valais an original and robust character.
