The Wine Museum, in the heart of Valais: 2 exhibition spaces, 1 Wine Trail

Valais wines, true to their origins and notable for the many grape varieties, are well worth a detour. From vine to glass, learn their secrets while wandering through the Wine Museum and along its Wine Trail. The Wine Museum, which is located in the heart of Valais, has two spaces: one in the courtyard buildings of the Château de Villa in Sierre and the other in the wine producing village of Salgesch.plan sentier musee vin FR

9. Gobelet_en_argent_gravé_aux_armes_dAdrien_V_de_Riedmatten._Musée_dhistoire_du_Valais._Photo_MVVV_R._Hofer1500-1850: time of the pioneers

When the Middles Ages ended, and despite political upheavals, the same economic system of subsistence farming continued. However, village communities and patrician families continued steadily to play their hands. Trading thus began to develop, notably on a regional level: sales and purchases of wine, country inns and local taverns were supplied with stocks, as were people in Upper Valley’s non-wine-producing area.

Some enterprising owners experimented with techniques for improving the quality of the wine, making a profit from their harvest and looking for new markets. They were the precursors of the commercial wine production of the future.
