Europe’s highest vineyard

Heida white wine grows in Europe's highest vineyard in canton Valais.

The village of Visperterminen is famous all over the world for its vineyards planted between 650 and 1150 meters above sea level. The narrow terraces with their dry stone walls rise 500 m in a very short space. The Heida grapes are known as the “pearl of alpine wines”.
