A family home in Valais<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Wine as an experience, for four generations<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Since its founding in 1900, the family-owned Varone winery has kept pace with major developments in Swiss and Valais viticulture and winemaking.<\/p>\n

At that time, it was the first to offer its wines in small containers and to distinguish between bottled wines and open-cask wines. This helped ensure the commercial growth of Varone wines in the restaurant industry and among private customers in Switzerland and abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

1920<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

As early as the 1920s, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Varone, the founder, anticipated market trends by creating strong brands such as Fendant Soleil du Valais and D\u00f4le Val\u00e9ria.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

In 1992, Varone joined forces with Bonvin 1858 Les Domaines to create Les Celliers de Champsec, with the goal of developing synergies and streamlining certain operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Today<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Philippe Varone, Mayor of Sion, has decided to delegate the management of his company to Les Celliers de Sion, led by David H\u00e9ritier.<\/p>\n

As part of this initiative, the two partners are strengthening their collaboration by launching a joint sales force and creating Switzerland\u2019s first Oenoparc at the foot of the spectacular terraced vineyards.<\/p>\n

Les Celliers de Sion is emerging as a premier venue where consumers and winemakers can come together.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Since its founding, Varone has been committed to its values. In the 2000s, the company adopted a strategy focused on building a close relationship with the end consumer, highlighting a unique approach: multisensory discovery. <\/p>\n

This results in wines of exceptional precision and uncompromising quality, which are presented at tastings designed to awaken all the senses. A different way to see, smell, touch, and taste wine\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
