Charles Bonvin Fils
The oldest winery in Valais


Our history

When Charles-Marie Bonvin started the wine growing business, the river Rhone was running wild and most of the valley was still marsh area, the railway had not reached Sion yet. Charles-Marie was a pioneer in developping the spectacular terraced vineyards on the hillsides and in 1858 he incorporated the first winery in Valais under the name of Charles Bonvin Fils.


Our heritage

The Bonvin family kept building continously, replanting many vineyards over the years and acquiring prestigious domaines. Today the wine growers follow strict guidelines for environmentally safe production (integral production).



Four generations later, the Bonvin family - in lack of succession - decided to sell the enterprise to a famous winegrower of Valais, with the objective to keep the pioneering spirit of its founder and produce, for further generations, exceptional crus and fine vintage wines.
Since 2009, Charles Bonvin is a part of the Rouvinez Group, the leading compagny of Valais in matter of quality and domain's wines.
