Sargans, a small town in Switzerland's canton of St. Gallen, is anchored by a castle that predates the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291 — and sits at the centre of the Sarganserland region, surrounded by mountain terrain and wine country, with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size.
