One of Europe's best best kept secrets is Switzerland's wine region.
The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces near Lake Geneva date back to the 11th century and are recognized for their exceptional cultural and agricultural value. The south-facing slopes and the reflection from Lake Geneva create a “three suns” effect that makes this region ideal for growing grapes, especially Chasselas, a crisp white wine grape you’ll find only in Switzerland.
Local wine cellars are warm and welcoming, and are often family-run. Pair your tastings with local cheese, bread, and lake fish for an authentic Swiss apéro.
