Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - The Wine Museum is housed in the enclosing wall of the Château de Villa. It shows temporary exhibitions about vineyards and wine and organises a program of conferences, wine-tasting and seminars.
The Valais has been a vine-growing area that for thousands of years has been characterised by the quality and diversity of its wines. The Wine Museum traces the history of this extraordinary mountain vine-growing area characterised by tradition and passion.
You should allow half a day to explore both museum locations in Sierre and Salgesch and to do the vineyard walk. The visit can be started in either one of the two museums in Salgesch or Sierre.
Le Château de Villa: This patrician house from the 17th century houses a restaurant that is famous for its terroir dishes and a wine cellar with a comprehensive palette of Valais wines (www.chateaudevilla.ch)
Experience the wine area and get to know the world of wine. Along the 6km wine trail you will discover wine villages, the wine regions and the wine technology.
The perfect route for an e.bike tour. Ride along the Valais language border and at the same time through diverse typical Valais villages such as Muras, Veyras and Miège. Enjoy the wonderful panorama over the valley.
The artists' village of Veyras, where Rainer Maria Rilke lived, the Raspille Gorge, the Valais Wine Museum in the Zumofenhaus in Salgesch and the village of Varen are all well worth seeing. Another possibility goes through the forest of Pfyn/Finges.
