Winzerobig mit Fadri Itin & Aron Candrian

The atmosphere, nestled in the heart of the Hermann family's vineyard, invites you to awaken your senses and enjoy the best of the regional cuisine and fine wines.

What makes the Winzerobig so special is the philosophy of bringing the winemaker directly to the table. There is an opportunity not only to taste the wines, but also to learn the stories and passion behind each drop. The organizers believe in the value of dialogue and rely on real interaction instead of just presenting a monologue about the wine.

The goal is to provide a holistic culinary experience that engages not only the palate, but also the heart and mind. They are invited to become part of the community, to exchange ideas with like-minded people and to discover new worlds of taste.

Fadri Itin
As a trained winemaker, he has been working at Weingut Schloss Salenegg since 2018.

In 2020, he was given the opportunity to buy grapes from his employer and press his own wine. Motivated, he seized the opportunity. From sprout to grape in the cellar, full program - a challenge.

During his apprenticeship, the chirping of birds accompanied him on his way to work.

This imprint, combined with his mother tongue Romansh, led to the designations of my wines. But then more at the Winzerobig in the Grotto.

Aron Candrian
Since his family set up a wine project (mas cantrio – razzmatazz) in 2005 in Priorat (Spain), he has been infected by wine fever. From then on, he became more and more involved with the world of wine. He is particularly fond of natural viticulture and winemaking with as little intervention as possible.

So it came about that he planted a small vineyard in my hometown of Sagogn in 2012. The fungus-resistant white wine variety Solaris was chosen as the grape variety, which simply enables organic viticulture. The wine bears the Romansh name "resvegl" (revival) and goes to the supporters of the project.

In 2015, he and his wife moved to Fläsch in the Bündner Herrschaft. Next to the house there was a small plot of land. Since he became more and more enthusiastic about the Pinot Noir grape variety over the years, it naturally had to be planted on the plot as well.

In 2020, he was able to gain two more sites of old Pinot Noir vines in Jenins and Maienfeld.

In 2022, he also created a vermouth from Pinot Noir wine and brandy, as well as wormwood, secret mountain herbs, saffron and exotic ingredients.

In addition to the existing vineyards in Jenins, further vineyards and grapes from Malans and Fläsch were added in 2025. The largest leased vineyard is located in the Fläscher Halde with 0.6 hectares. Thanks to the generous support of six investors, who are both wine lovers and friends, as well as numerous volunteers, he was able to set up a winery in Chur and found the new company VinAlpin.
