Our grandparents, Wenger Charly & Hilda, laid the foundation stone and began acquiring and planting vineyards in Salgesch in 1940. The wines, produced with great care, were very popular in their restaurant. Fendant was considered an everyday wine, while Dôle was only drunk on Sundays and on special occasions.

Our parents, Wenger Martin and Irma, continued the tradition and built a small winery in 1966. Due to a lack of space, the current residential building with a modern winery was built in 1980. The focus of production shifted to red wines, which undoubtedly corresponds better to the potential of our wonderful, limestone-rich soils. We now grow white wines, including rare specialties, in the Sierre region.

At the beginning of 2000, we were able to take over the management and operation of Cave Papillon in the third generation. Our family still cultivates and works the vineyards, which cover a total area of 3 hectares, exclusively ourselves. The slopes, some of which are steep and terraced with dry stone walls, require a great deal of manual labor, the advantage being that each vine is worked individually. Tradition paired with innovation and constant striving for quality show us the way into the future. We cordially invite you to raise a glass with us and experience the wonder of wine again and again.
