Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the grape harvest, in Valais German: "Wimdä".

When the first juice of the new vintage flows, the Wimdärziit begins in Salgesch!

We start at 11.00 a.m. on the Schulhausplatz with an atmospheric show pressing: Experience live how the first grape juice 2025 is made - taste it fresh from the press and get into conversation with real wine professionals.

From 12.00 noon, it's time to discover, enjoy and be amazed!

Our Salgesch businesses and wineries open their doors to you - with wine tastings, delicious snacks, surprising insights and lots of passion. Whether bakery, painting, crafts, brewery or viticulture: the diversity of our village can be seen at every corner.

Show carvers & speed carving from 12.00 noon
A special highlight: the speed carving show with Toni Flückiger. For over 15 years, Toni Flückiger has been transforming expressive wood into impressive works of art using a chainsaw - live, powerful and fascinating. The artist, who is known far beyond the region, knows how to bring emotions and shapes to life in his sculptures like no other. Experience at first hand how figures and shapes are created from raw logs under his hands - with speed, precision and a large portion of creativity. A real spectacle for all the senses! And if you need a break in between: Toni Flückiger's artfully carved sculpture benches are a more beautiful - and stylish - place to rest than ever before.

A cozy finale from 18.00 hrs
Finally, we meet in the courtyard of Salgesch - with autumnal delicacies from the Hotel Arkanum, drinks from the youth club and live music for the perfect atmosphere.

This is included in the ticket:
-A tasting glass in a practical pochette around your neck
-A hiking map & pleasure map
Come along and celebrate the Wimdärziit with us - where wine, craftsmanship and passion come together.
