📍 Balzers
A southern municipality by the Swiss border.
Balzers lies in the south of Liechtenstein, by the Swiss border, in the Rhine Valley (Oberland). An 1868 notice already named it among the wine-growing communes of the upper country. Warm foehn winds give the valley a mild climate, which suits Pinot Noir, the main grape here.
