Exhibition at Wine museum

Exhibition "Destination Wine"

From 8th March to 30th November 2025

The Valais, Switzerland's largest wine-growing canton, is insignificant on a global scale: it represents 0.06% of the world's wine-growing area and produces 0.15% of the world's wine volume. Yet Valais winegrowing stands out thanks to its many records and unique characteristics. What are these special features? Are they found in other vineyards around the world? And how is this viticultural heritage promoted, here and there?

Altitude, slope, winemaking methods... The Musée du Vin's new exhibition uses twelve themes to compare the Valais with other wine-growing regions around the world. This dialogue invites visitors to discover the riches of the Valais vineyards in a new light, while also offering a number of potential sources of inspiration. Destination Vin offers an immersive, interactive voyage of discovery through some surprising and inventive vineyards.

In collaboration with the Cité du Vin - Fondation pour la culture et les civilisations du vin and the Haute école de Changins.

Opening hours
Wednesday-Friday 14:00-18:00
