About Us

---

Utah. Zurich. Boston. Zermatt. Our story as Ratskeller officially begins in 2020 but was born decades ago in the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah. Mix in a global pandemic and a bit of inspiration from a shared bottle of “train wine” on an annual trip from Zurich to Zermatt, and the idea of Ratskeller turned into reality.

Today, we are building a female-owned wine import business that is looking to partner with like-minded winemakers, restaurants, and retailers who see the opportunity to sell and serve the best of what Switzerland has to offer.

We could write forever about the centuries of wine making culture where vines must grow on steep and stunning hillsides, the care of the land ingrained in the Swiss approach of producing natural and biodynamic wines, and the fact that almost none (less than 1%!) of these wines ever make it out of the country...but we won’t. Instead, we have a simple goal of bringing the outstanding wines that we enjoy drinking from this famously picturesque country to new people and places.
