- Our story
We are François and Kateryna, and Le Pont TARIN is our family business.
The observation is simple: passionate people who spend their days perfecting their product don't necessarily have the time to go and present it.
And people don't go to a restaurant just to eat. They go for an experience, to taste, to discover something new: a drink they've never tried, or the story of the person who made it.
So we build the bridge: we present producers to restaurants, hotels and cafés, and give these venues new discoveries to offer their guests. We choose each producer and get to know them, so that you can meet them in turn.

What We Do
We represent small-scale Swiss producers to restaurants, hotels and cafés: wine, beer, cider, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. We present their products, tell their story and provide long-term follow-up.
What Matters to Us
Quality without compromise
We visit every producer and taste their products before representing them. We love creativity and innovation, but never at the expense of reliability.
People before products
Trust, respect and lasting partnerships matter more than transactions. With producers as with venues, we seek to understand people before proposing anything.
We carry their voice
We tell each producer's story in our own words, so that it reaches you and, if you work in restaurants or hospitality, your guests.
Let’s Talk
Whether you run a venue or produce Swiss drinks, write to us or call us. We'll get back to you.
