At 1,100 m in Zermatt and 1,449 m at the Törbel pass, the landscape tips into Europe’s steepest cultivated slopes, where vines cling to 30–60% gradients. The Clavau irrigation channel, traced in 1435, threads above Sion; Petite Arvine roots into schist, while Fendant—Chasselas by another name—pairs neatly with Valais raclette. Between Valère (13th c.) and Tourbillon (1297), history sits on dry-stone terraces. Twenty-five kilometers downstream, Salquenen leans to sunlit reds, and 40 minutes away Leukerbad still steams at 51°C, as it did in Roman times.
We start from your hotel in Zermatt or Täsch with a Mercedes at your disposal: precise pick-up, flexible stops, seamless timing. Your private driver in the Rhône valley handles narrow roads, tasting slots, and historic-center access in Sion. You sip and visit while they navigate from terrace to terrace, secure a table at Château de Villa if desired, and—should you choose the spa add-on—swing up to Leukerbad before cruising back along the Rhône.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Book the first tasting before 11 am to beat the summer heat on the terraces, and request a seat by the raclette oven at Château de Villa to compare three different affineurs.
