A sparkling Chasselas from Lavaux, a velvety Merlot from Ticino or a fruity Riesling-Silvaner from Thurgau: with its six wine regions, Switzerland offers a wide variety of local wines.
But the search doesn't have to be difficult. If you want to choose a restaurant based on the wine list or try a Swiss wine again, you can use the Swiss Wine Gourmet label as a guide. This label recognises restaurants throughout the country that have a good to excellent selection of Swiss wines.
Wine connoisseurs, but also people who want to discover something new that is produced locally, can find over 1,000 restaurants that have joined the label on the Swiss Wine Gourmet website. The aim of the restaurants is to publicise exciting wine producers and Swiss terroirs.
For a restaurant to qualify for the Swiss Wine Gourmet label, it must offer at least two Swiss wines by the glass throughout the year and have at least five Swiss wines on the menu.
Depending on the selection, one, two or three glasses are awarded:
One glass: choice of Swiss wine; 25% Swiss wines or at least 10 Swiss wines on the wine list
Two glasses: Good selection of Swiss wine; 50% Swiss wines or at least 15 Swiss wines on the wine list
Three glasses: Excellent selection of Swiss wine; more than 75% Swiss wines or at least 30 Swiss wines on the wine list
When a restaurant receives the maximum of "Three Glasses", it offers a particularly extensive selection from all six Swiss wine regions. With such an excellent selection, there is only one thing that is difficult: deciding on a single wine to accompany your meal.
