Caves Ouvertes des Vins du Valais

Annual, Ascension weekend in late May (Thu–Sat, 11am–6pm each day)Sion, SwitzerlandWine TastingFree

Over 230 Valais winemakers simultaneously open their cellar doors across Switzerland's most important wine region for a spring weekend every May. The Caves Ouvertes offers unprecedented access to producers normally not open to the public — from the Rhône Valley floor to high-altitude terraces producing Fendant, Johannisberg, and Cornalin. Free to enter most cellars, pay per glass. An authentic alternative to organised wine tours.
