With high mountains to the North, East and South, it is very sheltered and the winds (Föhn) that blow over these mountains are dry and warm as they make it down into the valley and accelerate the growth of the grapes. The Valais receives the least amount of rain and the most amount of sun out of all the wine regions in Switzerland. The vineyards stretch almost continuously from the town of Varen down to Martigny. They range from flat areas on the valley floor to steep, picturesque plots at inclinations up to 90%, spanning an altitude range from 460 meters to 1150 meters above sea level in the Visperterminen. There is a long tradition in the Valais for making dessert wines. A popular red wine from the Valais is Dole, which is a red wine assemblage that is to 85% produced from Pinot Noir and Gamay.

Valais Wine

Located in the mountainous south-western corner of this small country, the main vineyard area of Valais runs east-north-east for 30 miles (50km) from Martigny to just beyond Sierre. Beyond this is a less densely planted section, which follows the valley due east between Leuk (Loeche in French) and Visp (Viege). Leuk lies on the dividing line between the French- and German-speaking parts of Switzerland, so this latter area of the Valais is subtly different from (and a touch more Germanic than) the more central and western areas. In 2010, the Valais region was planted with just over 12,300 acres (5000ha) of vineyards, representing 40% of Switzerland's white vine plantings and fractionally less of its reds. It generated 25% more wine than the country's second-largest region (Vaud) and five times more than Italian-speaking Ticino. Swiss vineyards, wine cellars directory.

The term “crowdsourcing” was first used by Jeff Howe in a 2006 Time magazine article, to describe the phenomenon of online content created by amateurs. Why use the crowd rather than experts, and why should people volunteer their time to provide content to a website when it is so much easier just to browse what is there?

Lake Geneva Region Tourist Office (Switzerland) - Lutry, in celebration of wine. Lutry has retained the characteristic features of a medieval village (listed of national interest), standing out in front of the terraced Lavaux vineyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
