Ideally located on the southern side of the Montorge hill, at the western entrance to Sion, the Domaine du Mont d´Or is renowned as one of the most prestigious vineyards in Switzerland. Domaine du Mont d´Or is made up of 220 terraces, all retained by authentic dry-stone walls. If we put end to end the walls that support the 220 terraces of the Domaine du Mont d´Or, this would represent 15 km. The vineyards cover an area of 24 hectares in one piece. The Johannisberg, king of the vineyard at the Domaine, is planted on half of this area. The estate is part of the Montorge natural site included in the inventory of natural sites of
national importance. A dozen gatehouses (called “guérites”) bring a touch of colour to the Domaine’s vineyard.
