Wine tasting in Lavaux:
Guided tours and hikes

My husband and I had an amazing time on our wine tour of the Lavaux region! We started around 10am and walked to our first tasting of 3 wines. They... read more were all excellent and we enjoyed the views of the region. Then, we walked to our next stop for lunch. Jenn brought a beautiful and delicious spread for lunch: cheeses, meats, nuts, tomatoes, bread, figs, and wine. In addition, the most amazing combination of crackers, cheese, smoked trout, and pickled onions. It was a delicious combination! Then, we walked quite a bit further (thankfully mostly downhill). We stopped along the way to learn about the region, vintners, and their process using a wine cart monorail. We made one more pit stop for another tasting before walking through vineyards, by a waterfall, and then ended in the last location for a final tasting where there were lots of purchasing options. Overall, we had a great day and loved our time on the tour! Jenn was so nice and passionate about the wine, people, and history of this region!

Jen planned an amazing day for us in Lavaux wine country. She's very thoughtful in her organizing, providing many options to choose from based in type of hike desired, locations,... read more etc. She's very communicative leading up to the day, and making sure you are armed with the right directions to get to the meeting place and back to your hotel. Walking within the vineyards was such a cool experience, as well as being able to take in such beautiful views and scenery. The wineries are also very "hidden" in little villages, so I don't know how easy it'd be to find them on your own. Also, I know we went to more unique ones off the tourist trail. The wineries are family owned and its a totally different experience visiting them versus US wineries. Definitely bring a sturdy bag or backpack because the wine is so good you'll want to buy some! And like us you'll probably buy at the first winery too (or maybe all) Jen is also super knowledgeable, very interested in food and wine, learning and sharing info about the region. She really enjoys what she does! She gave us lots of recommendations for Lausanne and other parts of Switzerland, and all over the world based on our groups travel plans. We really had such a fun day and if we're back in the area will look her up again! Reach out to her if you will be in the area and like wine, Swiss wine is very unique! You won't regret it.

Thanks to Jen we had the most wonderful time in Switzerland. Talk about a very caring, knowledgeable, and great communicator! You can tell her passion for travel and her zest... read more for life! Very thankful to have connected with Jen.
