Sion & Valaisian Wine
Swiss vintages aren't plentiful outside Switzerland, making their tasting and discovery a
joyous experience. Gentle walking trails tread through steeply terraced vineyards in Valais,
producer of the country's best wines, and many vignerons (winegrowers) open their doors
for tasting and buying. Pair a vineyard walk near Sion ( Click here ) with the region's au-
tumnal brisolée , the traditional feast built around local chestnuts, cheese, cold meats and
vin nouveau .
