The winery
Currently, the wines that we serve with meals in the "Piocher" come from the wine cellars of:
Thierry Constantin
Thierry Constantin, former Swiss marathon champion with a record time of 2 hours and 14 minutes, has found a new field of activity as a winemaker, which is also characterised by dedication and precision.
As a well-known perfectionist, he does not shy away from any work, even if it is hard. He is like those aesthetes whose conviction underlies every stage of wine culture, vine care, winemaking and the search for a great wine. With this inclination to a job well done, with love and energy, excellent, authentic wines are produced every year.
We are very proud to be able to serve his wines in our wine pairings.

Piocher
At the "Piocher", Fernando and Christoph forego the use of a menu. They want their guests to succumb fully to the pleasure of their meal, thereby encouraging the feeling of conviviality. Each dish is paired with the perfect wine from a specially selected winemaker. In order to make this plan work, the "Piocher" only has 4 tables.
“I had a dream that my guests would come together in the "Piocher" to enjoy and abandon themselves to the food and the wine”, is how Fernando explained his plans. This outstanding chef has international experience, but has been inspired by his own way of living: "We cook what we think is fun to cook, and what we ourselves like to eat. The dishes change every 5 to 6 weeks. We want our guests just to concentrate on their enjoyment of the food, and not to be distracted by what’s on a menu”.
Guests can decide on the size of their own meals and on whether they want their food to be served with wine or not. The chefs do aim to take account of specific preferences, but: “We aren’t able to offer purely vegan meals” added Christoph Kummer, who is Fernando’s right-hand man.
At the "Piocher" we are awarded 13 GaultMillau points.
