Salgesch - Salquenen
Wine literally oozes from these syllables. The red wines from the largest wine-growing municipality in Upper Valais have been a household name among wine connoisseurs for decades. The people of Salgesch understood early on how to combine the name of the village with their products, thereby giving the red wine an unmistakable identity. This trademark has allowed the wine village of Salgesch to flourish.

Salgesch lies on the linguistic border between the Upper and Lower Valais. The natural language border is formed north of the Rhône by the small Raspille stream between Sierre and Salgesch.
