A Culinary Delight on the Rails – December 5, 2026
On Saturday, December 5, 2026, the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway will host a special day dedicated to fine dining and wine. On the Wine & Dine Gourmet Train ride, select wines from Adrian & Diego Mathier Nouveau Salquenen AG will be paired with a multi-course meal—all while enjoying a breathtaking journey through the winter mountain landscape.
The journey takes you from Brig to Disentis and back in a modern panoramic car. Along the way, the train travels through the wintry Goms and Urserental valleys and crosses the Oberalp Pass. Through the large panoramic windows, the snow-covered Alpine landscape becomes part of the experience.
The Menu & Wine Pairings
A multi-course meal will be served during the ride. Each course is paired with a select wine from our winery—from the Dôle blanche “Frauenfreude” to start, to the red Cuvée Monsieur Diego Mathier with the main course, and finally the Malvoisie La Valaisanne with dessert.

Stopover in Disentis and return trip to Brig
After crossing the Oberalp Pass, the train arrives in Disentis. During the stop, guests have the opportunity to explore the monastery village and learn more about the town and its history on a guided tour.
Afterward, the return trip to Brig begins. The culinary program continues along this stretch of the route as well: cheese and dessert, paired with specially selected wines, bring the Wine & Dine event to a close.
The gourmet tour on December 5, 2026, brings together three elements that complement each other perfectly: the winter scenery of the Valais mountains, a varied menu, and select Valais wines.
