Head to the start of the educational wine trail via PostBus, then make your way along Valais’s historic dry-stone walls up to the St. Jodern Wine Cellars, learning exciting facts about the local wine culture as you progress through the walk. Once you reach the wine cellar, you’ll get the chance to taste some local wines, including Heida, as well as trying a number of culinary specialties. Once you’ve finished your tasting, the PostBus will take you to Visperterminen. You can round off your day there with lunch and a circular hike along the Bisse de Beitra, enjoying the view of the Bietschhorn and Matterhorn mountains along the way.

The experience is conducted in French and German only.
