The flavours and sights in Valais surpass mere eating and drinking to include the residents' "joie de vivre" that informs their exceptional gastronomic inventiveness by tasting an rice cooked with locally grown saffron from Mund, a Cholera from Goms, a buttered chestnut brisolée or gâteau de Savièse, a leek, cheese, potato and bacon tart.
To accompany this inventive and traditional cuisine, the Valais produces a variety of top-class wines. The largest winemaking canton of Switzerland offers you some treasures such as Fendant, Petite Arvine or an powerful Pinot Noir.
