About us

Living life to the full and enjoying spirits, sparkling wines and wines in moderation – a recipe for success that has served us well for over 155 years. Dettling & Marmot is a traditional company in the best sense of the word. For us, tradition is the solid springboard from which we dive into all things new. The service framework we have devised and put into practice puts sustainable value creation and the needs of our customers and partners first. As a company, fairness, openness and environmentally aware behaviour is what underpins our corporate approach.
