Mario Mosimann
Debora Mosimann
We would love to greet you personally at our welcome reception with an aperitif!
Or may be we meet on our panorama terrace after dinner, where we would like to serve you one of our home-made barrique grappas?
Our vintner, Mike Rudolph, cultivates his wine on our vineyard and is famous for his wines of the upper ligue.
On request we give you a tour around our wine cellar with the possibility to taste some of our finest wines.
Our Paladina wine and grape juices are just a few results of our grape harvest every autumn.
May be we get to know each other in our park and garden or during our “Wümmete”, our annual grape harvest.
Relax in our open air whirlpool (38°) open throughout the year and count the stars on the fabuluous sky of Tessin. Enjoy our heatable swimming pool from March to November.
With many greetings from sunny Tessin:
