The hotel "Bad Balgach" (Bath Balgach) was traditionally in 1928 a spa- and health resort. Guests became hungry during the visit so the family started to serve food and wine. That was the start of a long successful history. Even today the house still exists and belongs to the family.

At the beginning of the 20th century our Grand-grand father started to plant Pinot Noir grapes. After producing the wine, it has been stored in wooden barrels and distributed by a horse carriage to customers in the area. The entire family was committed to the production of wines until today.

Our adventures ancestors, including Lina, travelled with the horse carriage over the alps to Italy to buy more choices of wine to sell it afterwards to their customers in Switzerland. Even at this time Italian wines have always been popular in Switzerland.
