A sommelier with a love for the land
For Eloa Walker - Geiser, wine isn’t just a pairing — it’s a story of the land, the vine, and the people behind it. Growing up on a Ticino alp, her roots give depth to her choices. At Ristorante della Stazione, her list favours local wines and smaller makers, with attention to method and character. She brings warmth and ease to every table, always ready to open a bottle that fits the guest, the mood, and the meal.
“Wine connects the past and present. It tells you where you are and who made it.”
Stazione
At Ristorante della Stazione da YanElo in Intragna, chef Yanick Walker and sommelier Eloa Walker - Geiser bring a shared dream to life. Their journey began in Ascona, where they met working in the same restaurant. Now partners in life and work, they run this relaxed but refined spot at the gateway to Centovalli. Yanick’s precise, produce-driven cooking meets Eloa’s deep knowledge of regional wines, creating an experience rooted in local identity, shaped by craft, and powered by a close-knit team who value both quality and care.
