Switzerland produces distinctive wines primarily from indigenous grape varieties, where the alpine climate contributes to the unique profile of its wines.

The Valais region is famous for Fendant (Chasselas), a white wine with delicate floral, citrus, and mineral flavours; the Lavaux terraces in Vaud are also known for Chasselas. Pinot Noir from Graubünden offers elegant red fruit, earth, and a hint of spice. Petite Arvine from Valais is a noteworthy white wine with grapefruit, rhubarb, and saline notes.
