Abu-Sitz, a photo from Valais, West

Photographer's Note

I shot that one during the open cellars doors in the Canton of Valais. The winegrowers of Valais welcome you. An experience where you will taste wines during 3 days. A joyful parenthesis that stretches time…

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world..." Ernest Hemingway

This house dates from the 18th century. Until around 1990, people used to come to this house for the traditional "Abu-Sitz" evening gathering. After work, the villagers sat on wooden benches to discuss and exchange news of the day.

The house dates from 1708
