Johann Gin in Olten

The country’s most famous railway junction has long been a literature and cabaret town with its own going-out culture. Anyone changing trains or staying deserves more than station-buffet standard: for instance a gin distilled on Valais wine.

Behind Johann Gin stand Robin and Prisca Salzmann, distilling in Raron on a Valais wine base — with apricots from the valley, berries from the mountains and larch wood from the forests above the distillery. Small batches, a clear signature: Rarner, Hiemalis and Solstice.
