estled in the heart of the Swiss Alps is the picturesque town of Davos, home of the annual World Economic Forum and among the top ski destinations in the world. Nearby mountains such as the Rinerhorn, Jakobshorn, and Weissflujoch command respect from the Davoschi, or the local residents, thousands of feet below. It is however in the romantic shadow of the Seehorn that you will find Kindschi Söhne AG of Switzerland.

he ancestors of the winery's current owner founded Kindschi Söhne AG in 1860, which is greatly steeped in the region's tradition of family owned businesses, and ultimately in the culture of Davos. In the old days,  wine was transported through the mountains using well worn alpine trade routes from the Veltlin region using horses. The Kindschi's coined the saying "Guot Ross, Guot Wyn", or "Good Horse, Good Wine" which was part of the winery's logo for many years, and the horse with wine casks remains on the logo to this day. It was during those early years that house specialties were created, such as Röteli, which is one of the most popular Christmas beverages in the whole of Switzerland. Those family specialties are still manufactured today in on-site distilleries by using original recipes which remain secret.

ith Kindschi Söhne AG's Säumerkeller, or on-site wine shop, you can also purchase wines from around the world, from suppliers in South Africa, Australia, France, Italy, and California. Kindschi Söhne AG specializes in the direct sale of wines from Graubünden and the Veltlin regions as well. They carry a rich assortment of special wines of their own as well as a global selection of spirits.

ecause of new and innovative wine processing techniques introduced over the past few years, Kindschi Söhne AG is in the process of updating decades old equipment as it continues striving to be revolutionary in its processing techniques as well as traditional to its heritage . The growing assortment of wines and spirits are updated constantly to keep with the latest trends and demands of the customer.
