Valais Wine Experience
Adrian & Diego Mathier Nouveau Salquenen AG wins the international Public Choice Award.
Diego Mathier’s sustainable wine tourism concept initially impressed the jury of 72 experts on November 4 in Mainz and secured him the title of “Global Winner – Best of Wine Tourism”. At the subsequent international Public Choice Award, the 66 finalists once again faced the global public in seven categories. After 14 days, it was clear that Diego Mathier’s concept had won with the most votes against competitors from Australia, Spain, France, South Africa, Argentina, Italy, the USA, Germany and France. “The fact that our vision of the wine tourism concept has now received such a high accolade at an international level naturally makes us extremely proud,” says Diego Mathier. Diego Mathier’s winning concept Valais Wine Experience is all about wine. This includes experiences at the winemaker’s vineyard, guided hikes in the vineyards, sleeping in the “Vino Veritas” and matching culinary experiences in the Barrique restaurant. Guests can also choose from no less than 100 tourist, gastronomic and cultural excursion tips in the Upper and Lower Valais. The winegrower from Salgesch is keen to ensure that the year-round bookable offer will open up tourism on the theme of wine in the Rhone Valley in a holistic and sustainable way, without neglecting the mountain regions (wb).
