Wine tasting in Lavaux vineyards tour with you and your group!
What better way to discover the Lavaux region than with a wine tasting hike through the scenic slopes and vineyards?
The 25 kilometres between Montreux and Lausanne are steeped with terraced vineyards, soaked in sun, and have a history that started in the Roman times. The region boasts a dozen medieval villages, 15th century churches, over 200 wineries, and a rich tradition of regional foods.
Spend the morning hiking the slopes of the Lavaux terraced vineyards. Then reward yourself with a delicious picnic lunch of special regional foods and an afternoon of wine tasting.
Enjoy, fresh air, views of Lac Léman, the Alps, and vineyards. There will always be amazing viewpoints and scenic photo opportunities.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Discover the wines of Gault & Millau-rated winegrowers, organic vintners, and wine growing methods steeped in tradition (3-5 vintners)
- Taste local products: from breads, charcuterie, cheese, chocolates and other regional specialties
