Wine tasting in Lavaux vineyards
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 Roman times. The region boasts a dozen medieval villages, 15th-century churches, over 200 wineries, and a rich tradition of regional foods.
Unforgettable wine-tasting hike
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.
Picnic lunch with regional delights
Delight your palate with a diverse selection of local products, including artisanal bread, premium charcuterie, delectable cheeses, and exclusive chocolates. Immerse yourself in the culinary richness of the region, complemented by fantastic and obscure wines that are exclusive to Switzerland.
Discover wines you can taste ONLY in Switzerland..and why
Discover the wines of Gault & Millau-rated winegrowers, organic vintners, and wine-growing methods steeped in tradition. We taste wines from three small wineries.
