Frequently asked questions

What is the golden rule of wine tasting?

The most important rule is: enjoy the wine with all your senses and don’t let yourself get stressed.

The wine tasting is generally free of charge for you. However, if at the end of the wine tasting you are unable to decide whether you would like to take any wine home, we may charge you a fee based on the number of wines you tasted. This fee can range from CHF 20 to CHF 50 per person.

Salgesch (VS), Interlaken (BE), Hochdorf (LU) or at one of our trade fair stands. On average, the Adrian & Diego Mathier Nouveau Salquenen winery has its own stand at over 20 trade fairs a year.
