Anouck Dann was born among the vines of the Valais in Switzerland. After a spell in the hotel industry, where she was inspired by the example of César Ritz, she moved to England to study winemaking and viticulture at Plumpton Agricultural College. Today, she’s back in her native region, running Les Celliers de Vétroz alongside the Fontannaz family. Passionate and knowledgeable, she’s an ideal guide to the under-appreciated world of Swiss wines.

To read more about Anouck have a look at the Les Celliers de Vétroz website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @peak_cellar.
