Kloster Sion, Religious community and monastery in Aargau, Switzerland.
Kloster Sion is a religious community and monastery in Switzerland where monks live and work. The grounds include vineyards where different grape varieties are cultivated.
The monastery was founded and later evolved into a wine-producing operation as monks began to systematically cultivate grapes. This blend of religious community and agriculture has shaped the place throughout its history.
The monastery is a place where monks still pray and work daily while tending their vineyards. The community merges spiritual practice with hands-on winemaking, shaping how life unfolds here.
The site sits in an area with favorable conditions for wine growing and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should expect a quiet, nature-focused experience where the landscape and monastic operations blend together.
The monastery takes full advantage of local geography to grow quality grapes, with nearby mountains providing shelter. This natural setting makes it a special location for Swiss wine production.
