Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - The Felizitas Mathier Benicchio family business is now in its 3rd generation of managers and has been undertaking pioneering work in natural winegrowing dedicated to the wine varieties of Valais for the last half a century.

Franz-Josef Mathier began to press grapes in 1950 and his son André Mathier-Gsponer took over the management in 1992. True to the family tradition, his daughter Felizitas Mathier Benicchio has now been running the business since 2006 as a qualified winegrower. She was the first woman in Switzerland to train as a Swiss-certified wine technologist in line with the company motto of ‘natural, personal, authentic’.

Natural – 50 years of pioneering work in the planting of vineyards; today the company operates an biological production practice and maintains a comprehensive and sustainable approach to the vineyard ecosystem.

Personal – a priority since the outset: personal contact with the customer. Doing justice to the wines of Valais with some exceptional grape varieties.

Authentic – handed-down expertise combined with innovative competence and a passion for high quality wines creates a unique blend bringing together originality and authenticity.
