Page d'accueil - Main Wine-producing Switzerland in short Switzerland is composed of 26 cantons and 4 linguistic areas: the German one, the French one, the Italian and the Romanche. This creates a richness of various expressions, which are also reflected in traditions, lifestyles, eating and drinking manners. Its wine-producing geography is subdivided into six areas: the cantons of Valais, of Vaud and of Geneva, the three lakes' region (Western Switzerland), the German-speaking area (Eastern Switzerland), and the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino. Moreover, Switzerland's particular geographical situation, in between four wine-producing nations (France, Italy, Germany and Austria), offers an extreme diversity in the characters of its wines. Swiss vineyards give a large choice of grape varieties, although they are still scarcely known abroad.
Valais Wine - A Guide to the Wines of Valais Valais is Switzerland’s largest wine region, located in the Southwest portion of the country. The terrain is marked by dramatic Alpine peaks, with vineyard sites nestled into very steep locales. The vineyards are mainly concentrated between the areas of Martigny and Leuk. The highest vineyard in Europe, Visperterminen at 1100 meters, is located here. Growing conditions are excellent. GDP Wines of the Year 2009 Now that a new year is upon us, it’s time to reflect a bit on the wines tasted, and enjoyed, throughout 2009. Everyone publishes their list of top wines, heck just last Friday we published a couple of lists, but about what interested you, the Snooth user. Today I want to take a look back at what interested me. I’ve put together some lists, grouped by grape variety, of wines that were not only great, but that are also available on your retailer’s shelves.
Swiss Wine Online The Valais has the largest number of hectares cultivated to grapevine in Switzerland – and for a good reason. 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.
Valais Wine Valais is the largest wine region in Switzerland, and is responsible for almost half of the nation's total wine production. 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.
Kyiv Initiative: Wine Culture Tourism Exchange (WCTE) Kyiv Initiative: Wine Culture Tourism Exchange (WCTE) Cultural vine routes criss-cross Europe, pre-dating by centuries modern state frontiers. These routes map out an "intercultural" European heritage, which the Council of Europe, using innovative approaches to cultural cooperation, intends to reanimate. The wine, culture and tourism sectors have a complimentary relationship. The tourism sector has long recognised the value of culture to the industry.

Experience economy constructs as a framework for understanding wine tourism Donna Quadri-Felitti Ann Marie Fiore⇓ Donna Quadri-Felitti, New York University, Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, 838 Broadway, NY 10014, USA Email: quadri@nyu.edu Abstract Global growth in wine tourism mirrors that of wine consumption and rural tourism. Existing research reveals that wine tourists look for dining, shopping, and cultural and recreational activities along with authentic (e.g. reflecting local elements, unique events) products and experiences. This suggests the importance of hedonic and experiential consumption theories, which have been recently referenced in wine tourism literature.
Gateway School For Wine Tourism In November 2007, Emmaus College was accepted as a Gateway School to the Wine Tourism Industry. This means that the College has been identified as one of thirteen schools in Queensland that will educate and ‘motivate’ young Winemakers and tourism operators for the future. The Wine industry in QLD is a huge component of our economy and employment in this area will be widely sought and available in the near future. Being a Gateway School links Emmaus to the Queensland College of Wine Tourism in Stanthorpe. The College of Wine Tourism is a state-of-the-art $7.5 million education and training facility. It is located on the campus of Stanthorpe State High School and operates as a Centre of the University of Southern Queensland.
From Wine Production to Wine Tourism Experience: The Case of Italy Author Info Asero, VincenzoPatti, Sebastiano Abstract Typical products, mainly local food and wine, are considered suitable features to characterise the tourist supply of a destination and in many cases they are a major attraction of a territory. These products contain a strong reference to the territory in which they are produced. They simultaneously represent on the market a geographic area, its traditions and its cultural heritage, they identify a local community and its identity as well.
