Vinotherapy: A Spa Experience in Switzerland’s Vineyards
Experience a unique vinotherapy session set amidst the stunning landscapes of Switzerland’s vineyards. Picture yourself relaxing in a hot bath right in the heart of a vineyard, enjoying a glass of exquisite Chasselas or Petite Arvine, all while taking in breathtaking views of a UNESCO World Heritage Site or the Rhône Valley.
What is Vinotherapy?
Vinotherapy uses the powerful benefits of grapes and vines for your skin. Rich in anti-ageing, toning, moisturizing, and regenerating properties, grape residues used in winemaking are full of polyphenols, including the renowned resveratrol, which help rejuvenate and illuminate your skin.
The Spa Experience
Currently, there are two locations at Domaine Bovy in Chexbres in Lavaux and the vineyards of Maison Gilliard on the heights of Sion in Valais. Here, you can enjoy exceptional landscape views and the healing properties of vine products.

Hot bath and glass of wine
It all begins with a warm bath in the heart of the vineyard. Take a moment of relaxation during which you allow your skin to prepare for your chosen treatments that follow.
To fully appreciate the charm of the wine-growing region, relax with a glass of wine.
During this initial session, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the unique panoramic views.
Grape marc scrub
The scrub session starts with a grape pomace from local vineyards to gently cleanse and purify your skin. It’s made up of grape skins, seeds and a few stalks, which is removed at the end of the alcoholic fermentation process at the wineries.
These residues are rich in polyphenols to provide your skin with an exfoliating and purifying scrub, rich in vitamins (A and E) and with antioxidant virtues.
Body wrap
The masseuses cover you with a thin layer of lees before wrapping you up and letting you enjoy the unique sensations induced by the rich components of lees.
The lees consist of the remains of yeast deposited at the bottom of the vat or barrel during the wine-making process from last harvest. It’s also an antioxidant, soothing your skin after exfoliation and strengthening your skin’s defences.
Facial massage
While your enveloped body is nourished and soothed by the lees, your face receives special care: a massage using oil infused with red vine leaves to stimulate blood circulation and muscle tone while moisturizing your skin.
Relaxing massage
Our therapists’ body massage helps relax and/or tone your muscles. The beneficial effects of massage are also noted in terms of blood circulation.
The red vine leaf-infused oil used for the massage has nourishing, moisturizing and softening properties for your skin.
Force Vitale de la Vigne” Vinésime facial
A comprehensive anti-ageing and moisturizing facial for incomparable radiance and smoother, firmer skin. The A2OC complex, with its oxygenating and anti-oxidant properties, boosts the skin’s energy and strengthens its defences. This treatment includes a scrub, mask and massage.
