Description
Discover the art of grape growing on the spectacular terraced vineyards of Plan-Cerisier alongside a fourth-generation winegrower.
Set high above Martigny, the historic vineyard hamlet of Plan-Cerisier offers breathtaking views across the Rhône Valley and some of the most remarkable vineyard landscapes in Switzerland. During this immersive experience, you’ll step beyond the wine cellar and into the vines themselves, learning directly from the people who cultivate them.
Hosted by a local grower whose family has worked these slopes for four generations, you’ll gain first-hand insight into the challenges and rewards of growing grapes on steep mountain terraces. As you walk among the vines, you’ll discover how altitude, sunshine, dry stone walls and the unique climate of Valais shape every stage of the growing season.
Throughout the visit, you’ll learn about vineyard life across the seasons, from winter pruning and spring growth to harvest and winemaking. Your host will share stories passed down through generations, offering a deeper understanding of the dedication, knowledge and craftsmanship required to produce exceptional wines from these alpine slopes.
More than a wine experience, this is an opportunity to meet the grower, understand the landscape and connect with a way of life that has shaped this corner of Valais for centuries.
For those wishing to extend the experience, the visit can be paired with an aperitif among the vines, a vineyard dining experience surrounded by the terraces of Plan-Cerisier, or a leisurely meal at a local restaurant overlooking the vineyards and the Rhône Valley beyond.
Whether you’re passionate about wine, agriculture, local culture or simply discovering hidden corners of Valais, this experience offers an authentic perspective on one of the region’s most treasured traditions.
