Chamoson – home of Johannisberg

Before you set out on your hike through the Chamoson vineyards, you are personally provided with a special packed lunch. The first cultural highlight comes right at the start of the trail: the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre-de-Clages. You can then enjoy your picnic at the highest point of the educational wine trail, with views out over the Rhône Valley and the impressive vineyards of Chamoson. A guided tasting and visit to a wine cellar in the home of the Johannisberg varietal (as Silvaner is known here) add the finishing touch to this exclusive experience to be discovered from May to October.
