The Caves du Paradis, a family winery in Sierre in the Valais, rents out its carnotzet for private and business events. The room is fully equipped and holds up to 35 guests. The winery is run by Olivier Roten and sits on the Route de la Gemmi in Sierre, where it also receives visitors for tastings and sells its wines directly.
Seminars and company events
The winery presents the carnotzet as a place for business occasions as well as private ones. With a limit of 35 people, it suits a team meal, a client tasting, a partner dinner or a small celebration after a meeting held elsewhere in the Sierre area. It is not a venue for a large conference.
Beyond the room itself, the winery offers a visit of the cellar and workshops, available only after prior booking. A company can combine a hire of the carnotzet with a discovery of the winery, but the site does not describe set formulas, so ask the team which combination they can offer for your date and group size.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has one event room, the carnotzet, with 35 places. The winery describes it as fully equipped, without listing the equipment. Ask for the list of what is available, such as tables, glassware and kitchen access, when you send your request. The site does not mention an outdoor area or a separate reception room.
The cellar's general terms and price list are published on the website, so you can read the conditions before contacting the team.
Catering
The winery produces more than 20 different wines, including regional classics such as Petite Arvine, Garanoir, Symphonie, Noir de Noir and Larix, which is aged in a larch barrel. The wines come from the family estate, and they can be ordered through the online shop and delivered across Switzerland. The website does not describe a food offer for the carnotzet, so check with the team whether you bring your own caterer or whether they can recommend one.
History and setting
Alex Roten founded the Caves du Paradis in 1959. The winery is still a family business, now led by Olivier Roten, and employs 10 people as well as apprentices. It follows a close-to-nature approach to vine growing and puts weight on winemaking. Sierre, called Siders in German, lies in the central Valais, and the website is available in German and French.
The winery holds a Christmas tasting every year, on Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5 in 2026, and it takes part in the open cellar days of the Valais. These dates are public occasions, so book a private event on other days.
Getting there
The address is Route de la Gemmi 135, 3960 Sierre. The winery is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Contact the team at the address published on the website to agree on a date and a time outside these hours.
