A Selection of Where to Find Our Wines.
Bar Tour With Valentin
Donatz Wine Bar, Samedan
A True Eldorado For Wine Lovers
Host and sommelier René Donatz has an impressive selection of 550 wines ready for us – 20 of which are available by the glass. My “Completer”, a white rarity from Jenins that I don’t sell on the open market, is also available here (almost exclusively). The Donatz Wine Bar has been awarded the “Best of Award of Excellence” by the New Yorker trade magazine “Wine Spectator” for the second time in a row. And if you like, you can round off your wine enjoyment with delicacies from the bistro menu. Viva Engadina! We’ll be back soon.
Bar du Nord, Basel
Historical Charm in the Train Station Badischer Bahnhof
The historic ambience of the former economy-class bistrot at Badischer Bahnhof is a wonderful place to pass the time and wait for arriving and departing trains in comfort and style. The Bar du Nord combines the international charm of a classic station buffet with a rich history. The fact that our wine is available there directly from the tap promises an exciting future!
Restaurant Rubino, Basel
What an Independent Gastronomic Temple!
Where else in Basel do you enjoy a glass of wine with a good lunch? Certainly at the “Rubino” restaurant in Luftgässlein! For years, host Beat Rubitschung has been offering extremely sophisticated and unconventional cuisine, full of ideas, seasonal, regional – and a remarkable wine list! In the evening, a “Menu Surprise” is served, which has always impressed me. The wine accompaniment anyway – because Beat is an enthusiastic wine connoisseur. He has also opened the “invino” wine bar just across the street, where the famous Beyeler Gallery used to be.
Fähribödeli Basel
Fantastic Summer Location
Restaurant Safran Zunft
A Must to know in Basel
Alexandre Kaden has achieved something: he has turned the historic guild pub into a modern, fresh restaurant. A fine combination of tradition and modernity. My wines are a perfect match!
Hotel Laret Samnaun
A Jewel of Graubünden
The pretty boutique hotel in Samnaun is the ideal retreat to recover from the stressful and noisy city life. Where gentian and edelweiss bloom, the food and hospitality is of the highest standard.
A gourmet Zen place to be!
Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, Brasserie Basel
The King’s Menu
Swiss and French specialties in the first house in town. With a view of the Rhine and a glass of nanumy. A perfect match.
Franzoli GmbH
Streetfood Deluxe And Interactive Cocktails
Weisses Kreuz Bergün
Warmth And Tradition on the Village Square
Cervo Mountain Resort
Spectacular: the Ecological And Social Luxury Hotel in Zermatt
Just another luxury hotel? Quite the opposite: the “Cervo” is probably the “leftist” among Swiss luxury hotels. Here, social and ecological concerns are taken really seriously. An exemplary energy supply, close local partnerships, an appreciative team spirit – and the members’ club is called “Democratic Mountain Community”. And always with you: the spectacular view of the Matterhorn.
Tibits Basel Gundeli
Everything That Vegetarian And Vegan Cuisine Can Do
The diverse “Tibits” buffets are the showcase of vegetarian and vegan delicacies – and are so uncomplicated, enjoyable and fresh. The new “Basel Gundeli” branch, which opened in 2019, is housed in the Meret Oppenheim building designed by Basel star architects Herzog & de Meuron – within walking distance of Basel railroad station. The cozy premises invite you to enjoy and linger – perhaps with a whiff of “Pink Fluyd” from my cellar.
Birtel’s Fahrbar
The Refreshingly Good Neighborhood
Our great neighbors from the microbrewery “Birtel” they brew their fantastic craft beer on Frankfurter Strasse. And every Thursday and Friday evening, they open their “Fahrbar” and a food truck pulls up. From schnitzel bread to curry sausage, pizza to burgers. Everything that goes with good craft beer, with lots of variety! And for those who still don’t like beer: there are also exquisite Vinigma wines.
La Soupière
High-quality Gastronomy at the Hotel Schweizerhof in Zurich
If you have ever played the Swiss version of “Monopoly” in your life, then you will know what a hotel on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse means. The traditional “Hotel Schweizerhof” is this hotel – directly opposite the main railway station. Never in my wildest boyhood dreams did I imagine that I would one day make it onto the wine list here with my two Jenins red wines.

Catering With a Bite
Le Rhin Bleu Basel
Head Jump
Water rats, sun worshippers and Le Rhin Bleu share the bathhouse in Breitequartier. Here, a dip in the Rhine flows seamlessly into a sophisticated dinner on the terrace overlooking the water. The sunsets are spectacular.
Club de Bâle
Members Only
Löwenzorn Basel
New Shine in the Traditional House
Hotel Ofenhorn Binn
Time Travel to the Binntal
Pioneers of Alpine tourism! They built the most stylish grand hotels. Take the Ofenhorn in Binn, for example: Belle époque rooms with lovely floral wallpaper and original furniture. Plus sophisticated and absolutely contemporary cuisine.
Privatkochschule Batlogg Schwyz
A Culinary Artist from Schwyz
Gabriele Batlogg fulfilled a dream over ten years ago and founded her own cooking school. She cooks her way around the world in a converted horse stable. The courses are captivating, the dishes magical. And they’re accompanied by my wine. A good combination!
Restaurant Viertelkreis Basel
Comet of the Neighbourhood
Stöff Lehmann knows where his marrow bone and the mirabelle plums for dessert come from. And he knows his guests – the workers at lunchtime and the urbanites in the evening. And yes, the food is delicious.
Tellplatz 3 Basel
Specialties and Delicacies
Forgotten sausages, cheese counter and llama meat. At Tellplatz, only what the owners like is served. Artisan production, always fresh and different every day. Only the wine stays the same.
Restaurant Zum Tell Basel
Old Town Pub with Special Charm
Restaurant Union Basel
Burgers galore
Saint Louis Buvette Basel
Summer Breeze at the River
Restaurant Rhyschänzli Basel
Soul Warmer
Jérôme Beurret was the first restaurateur in Basel to serve his guests my wine. He keeps his menu lean, down-to-earth and simply good. The fake snails are unbeatable, and the polenta with mushrooms warms you up from the inside.
Kurhaus Bergün
Lots of Art Nouveau
Berghotel Sterna Feldis
All Handmade
Linard Lavin
“Our chic is simplicity, our groove is craftsmanship, our kick is team spirit.”
The Gasthaus Linard Lavin is a real insider tip in the Lower Engadine: an unadorned beauty right on the village square. Carefully renovated, the historic palazzo shines with new freshness, each of the carefully designed rooms tells its own story, and the cuisine is impressive – true to the motto: “What tastes good doesn’t need to be decorated.” The establishment is run by a “collective of committed people” and supported by a non-profit limited company.
Restaurant zur Mägd, Basel
Down-to-earth Italian Food
Rostiger Anker Basel
Come Back Soon, Boy!
More harbor is not possible. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with your chair in the water. So it’s worth keeping an eye on your wine consumption here. Although who can say no to a glass of aspermont!
Waldhaus Sils-Maria
Swiss Historic Hotels
The Art Nouveau building impresses me with its venerable elegance and historical significance. With lots of character and no airs and graces. One of my personal favorites.
Ustaria Crusch Alba Guarda
A Bell For Ursli
Perhaps the famous childrens’ book boy from Guarda once sat in Crusch Alba. It’s conceivable. Today we think of him over carpaccio of highland beef, maluns or a hearty barley soup. Bun appetit!
Wassermann Catering
Hospitality at the Highest Level
Hotel Walther
Grandezza and Tradition in Pontresina
Restaurant Spina
The Other Side of Davos
Culinary delights off the beaten track
Bodega zum Strauss
A Gastronomic Institution of Basel
The Bodega zum Strauss is cult in Basel and a must. I used to sit at Jonny’s table with my father for lunch when I was 15 years old – and besides the clarete, smoking cigarettes were a matter of course at every table. Cheers to that!
Dani Matter Weine
The Vinotheque in Samedan
