Our story

What connects us with this winery...

More about the wine cellar

Vin d'Oeuvre, Leuk town

Isabella & Stéphane Kellenberger from the Vin d'oeuvre winery in Leuk Stadt are happy to share their passion... because they are available in bottles, in white and red, contemporary or more traditional, ready to enjoy immediately or for storage - tailored to a variety of tastes.

The two met while studying oenology in Vaud. Their relationship is no longer just professional, but also personal. They have two children. Their common strengths lie in the breadth of their individual professional experience, their different interests and the contrasting nature of their personal traits, which nevertheless harmonize perfectly, just like in a good wine.

They produce 17 different wines from indigenous and international grape varieties at their family winery Vin d'oeuvre in Leuk. They travel miles for good wine, as their vineyards stretch from Fully in the Lower Valais to Visperterminen in the Upper Valais - in short, through the entire Valais.

Vin d'oeuvre is a play on words made up of the French "vin" (wine) and "oeuvre" (work). It deliberately alludes to "main d'oeuvre" (craft) and "chef d'oeuvre" (masterpiece). Isabella & Stéphane are vin d'oeuvre, because that is exactly what their wines want to convey: Top quality paired with race and elegance - gained through their work in the vines and in the cellar.

More about the grape variety

Johannisberg

«The Sunday wine of the Valais»

Johannisberg: This is what the Valaisans call their Sylvaner, which originally comes from Transylvania. After Chasselas, Johannisberg is the most widespread white grape variety in our region.

It is an ideal accompaniment to asparagus, poultry or fish in sauce. The Johannisberg develops its outstanding qualities on dry, gravelly soils, which it finds on selected slopes, especially in the Chamoson region. It is characterised by its varietal, charming flavour, with nuances of herbal tea and a seductive background of fruit and almond aromas. Its complexity, richness and ageing potential, well over twenty years, are incredible!

In the past, people in Valais drank Fendant during the week and Johannisberg on Sunday. The longer, the more the Valaisans treat themselves to a glas of Johannisberg during the week...
