Marché du Terroir

The grape harvest in Switzerland has developed over the past century from an artisanal activity to a technically supported process.

Palm trees, lakes and vineyards – Ticino reveals a side of Switzerland that takes you by surprise. With its picturesque villages, impressive vineyards and delightful experiences, Switzerland’s southernmost wine region invites you to discover Swiss wine right where it is produced.

The new ‘Sustainable Swiss Wine’ label allows you to recognise wines from responsible Swiss production at a glance. It stands for sustainability, regional origin and high quality standards.

Every August, Valais wineries invite guests to communal dinners amongst the vineyards, at the wineries themselves or in the wine cellars. The Tavolata brings together regional cuisine, Valais wine and the chance to meet the people who produce it.

When live music fills the streets of Champéry and Swiss winemakers offer their wines for tasting, a very special atmosphere is created. Aurélie Lavison from the Café du Nord explains why the Jazz & Wine evenings have been bringing people together for the past seven years.
