Caves Défayes & Crettenand
Falstaff Winery - Listed
Caves Défayes & Crettenand is a family-run Valais cellar in Leytron, opened in 1965 and focused on the region’s native grape culture rather than polished tasting-room theatre. Its range leans into Petite Arvine, Humagne Blanc, Humagne Rouge, Cornalin and Heida, with sustainable farming and Gault&Millau recognition giving the cellar a serious regional footing.
