Winery visit

Virtual tour: Step inside...

In recent years, the St. Jodern winery has been repeatedly rebuilt, expanded and modernised and is definitely worth a visit. If you are not able to visit Europe's highest vineyard in person today, you can still take a virtual tour of the premises. And after all, postponed is not cancelled...

Step inside...

St. Jodern Winery

The winery with the Heida...

In 1980, 120 members of the cooperative were able to deliver their grapes to the newly built St. Jodern winery for the first time. Today, more than 500 members of the cooperative produce around 300,000 liters of wine annually, which they bottle in the winery in around 400,000 bottles. Passion, wine as a philosophy of life and the pursuit of the highest quality are the three components that guide the employees at St. Jodernkellerei in their daily work. Added to this is the healthy and diverse nature of the region, which allows the grapes to thrive in the vineyards of Visperterminen up to an altitude of 1,150 meters above sea level.

Visperterminen has been blessed by nature with a mild climate. And its inhabitants, the "Terbiner", have always known how to make the most of the sun and the unique location of their village. It is no coincidence that the special people at the entrance to the Visp Valley are considered strong, unique and full of character - just like their wine.

Traditions are upheld at the St. Jodern winery because they are an obligation. Of course, innovation is also a must: the basis for the creation of modern, high-quality top wines, as the St. Jodern Kellerei has been producing for years. Innovation based on tradition - that is one of the recipes for success in Europe's highest vineyard.

Gewürztraminer

«A grape variety with a strong primary aroma»

Because of its slightly reddish grape colour, Gewürztraminer is also called Roter Traminer. Its origin is not exactly known, but it is probably in south-eastern Europe. The name comes from Tramin in South Tyrol, where the grape has been cultivated since the 11th century. In Valais, it is rather rare and is usually not pressed pure. Gewürztraminer produces very aromatic wines with a fragrance reminiscent of rose petals and lychee.

The soil also has an influence on the taste: the granite soils in Alsace - where two-thirds of the world's production comes from - give the white wine a different aroma than the soils here in Valais. Here, Gewürztraminer is much less sweet.
