As winemakers, we enjoy being out and about in the region \u2013 visiting restaurants that are close to our hearts. This time, our journey took us to Raron, to Kapitel 7 \u2013 one of the few establishments in Valais\u2019 fine dining scene that is also open at lunchtime. Which is by no means a given. <\/p>\n\n
Amedee Mathier<\/a><\/strong> was there for lunch with business partners \u2013 and was not disappointed. What Rainer Willisch<\/a><\/strong> and Simone Witschard have created in recent years from the former Rarnerhof is remarkable: several restaurant and bistro areas, elaborately designed vaulted cellars for events and wine tastings, a garden park, and new suites currently under construction. <\/p>\n\n Rainer Willisch, once trained at the Mont Cervin Palace<\/a><\/strong> in Zermatt, brings a great sense of finesse to the kitchen \u2013 a talent that GaultMillau Switzerland<\/a><\/strong> recognized with 14 points on its first visit.<\/p>\n\n Water buffalo tartare, lobster bisque, butter-tender veal fillet \u2013 the cuisine impresses with precision, creativity, and top-quality ingredients. Accompanied by a refined wine list with strong Valais crus. And at the table: the attentive, warm service of Simone Witschard. <\/p>\n\n A place we are proud to entrust with our wines<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As winemakers, we enjoy being out and about in the region \u2013 visiting restaurants that are close to our hearts.
