In the VALAIS, 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. A dry and sunny climate, supplemented by a hot wind called the 'Föhn' that accelerates ripening, gives the wines of VALAIS an original and robust character.

The tradition of wine and viticulture in Switzerland is very old, at minimum from the Roman Era. The first bottle, made in ceramic, was found near Sembrancher (Valais), in a Celtic Tomb of a Lady of 2nd Century BC. An inscription on the bottle indicates that it contained wine. Around the 150s BC, in the Celtic Era, the people in VALAIS offered wine to the dead, and probably they also drank the same wine. After a century, the Roman Amphorae also appeared.
