Guest Winemaker

Since 2003, the former Sitenrain farm in Meggen has been practising organic viticulture with passion. It was established by Erika and Ueli Breitschmid and is now run by their daughter Nora, who is both the estate manager and winemaker. On the 5.5-hectare estate, Nora cultivates hardy grape varieties from which she produces fresh white wines, characterful red wines and fine sparkling wines. For Nora, Sitenrain is more than just a vineyard; she invites guests to share this special place and the joy of good company at tastings and events.

The range of wines from Meggen is complemented by a selection of wines from southern Europe bearing Nora’s signature, stretching from Lake Lucerne to the Mediterranean.

Tenuta Palmeri is located in Avola, Sicily. There, amidst a stunning landscape, with the air filled with the scent of the countryside and the chirping of cicadas, Nora Breitschmid and her team cultivate mainly red wine using purely organic methods. This involves a great deal of manual labour, passion, love and patience, as the grapes are given all the time they need to reach their full potential.

In Spain, near Zaragoza, the three Cuartero-Cuarto brothers produce single-varietal Garnacha wines on 15 hectares in accordance with organic guidelines. The Garnacha vine copes well with drought, heat and wind, and thanks to its low tannin content it produces wonderfully fruity wines.

Together, these wines embody organic cultivation, character, and the joy of authentic craftsmanship.
