The Lavaux Vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are a stunning terraced wine region stretching along the northern shore of Lake Geneva, just a short train ride or drive from Lausanne. Renowned for their breathtaking views of the lake and Alps, the vineyards produce exceptional Swiss wines, particularly Chasselas. Visitors can explore the region through scenic hiking trails, wine-tasting tours, or leisurely boat rides along the lake.
You can rent a bike or stroll along to explore the terraced vineyards. You can see how they operate using solar energy, thermal power and radiation. You could also opt for a tour or help out a winemaker as he goes about his daily job. Needless to say, wine tasting is also available here.
