Tonnelle à Antoine, picnic area

Rivaz

With its vast network of marked trails, the vineyards of the Lavaux UNESCO region are a popular destination for walking. In addition to pleasant stops in the wine cellars and the village breweries, hikers have many places to get their breath back and stop for a picnic. These small oases are not just put there randomly; they often reveal breathtaking views over the vineyard, Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Between Rivaz and Epesses, at the edge of the Dézaley Grand Cru AOC and Calamin Grand Cru AOC appellations, "La Tonnelle à Antoine" is a small paradise. Protected from the sun and the rain under cover, walkers benefit from a table, benches and especially a gorgeous view of one of the most beautiful landscapes in Switzerland.
