Wishes for the new wine year

At station 01, 345 guests left a wish. A selection.

The experience
A themed gourmet walk through the vine year

Wine Autumn is a themed gourmet walk around Salgesch: from the station, through varied landscapes, past shady spots and viewpoints, from stop to stop through the year of the vine, and back to the heart of the village, where everyone meets once more. The start is partly in time slots, for a calm, high-quality experience. Wine, music and encounters, carried by the whole village.

01
Dramaturgy

Twelve+ stops, twelve months. The rhythm shifts between calm and convivial.

02
Discovery

Three surprises that only reveal themselves along the way.

03
Togetherness

At the end, the shared finale in the village, with winemakers and guests.

Wine Autumn is an event of the Weindorf Salgesch association. Its members, the village cellars, develop the format together, year after year. Along the way, they pour for you in person.

Getting here & good to know
How to get here
Getting here

The meeting point is on the south side of Salgesch station. The railway underpass lies directly opposite. The start is right in front of it, on the south side. Please arrive at the time slot shown on your ticket.

If you come by car, park at the church. Spaces are limited. The train is the better option.

Salgesch lies in Valais between Sierre and Leuk. Reachable by train from Visp or Sion in under 20 minutes. We recommend public transport, parking in the village is limited.

What is included in the ticket?+

The tastings at every stop, Valais cuisine along the route, the musical accompaniment and the shared finale in the village centre. You pay nothing along the way.

How much wine is included?+

The pass includes 17 tastings of 0.3 dl each. In addition there is Valais cuisine. The terms of participation apply.

What is not included?+

Travel to and from the event, drinks beyond the tastings and wine to take home.

How long does the day take?+

You go at your own pace. Sporty groups are out for about 3.5 hours, longer with more time at the stops. Start from 10:00.

Who is it for?+

You should be steady on your feet, but you don't need to be sporty. The paths through the vineyards are uneven, so we recommend sturdy shoes. Alcohol is served under Swiss law. For prams or limited mobility, the route is only partly suitable. If you have questions about suitability, get in touch in advance.

Am I welcome at the closing gathering without a ticket?+

Yes. The closing gathering in the village centre is open to everyone. The walk ends there and the winemakers of Verein Weindorf Salgesch are on site once more. Wine and food are available to buy on site. The tastings and food along the route are part of the ticket.
