Lavaux Wine tasting

Montreux

In the 13th century, to overcome the steep gradient in the Lavaux area, the monks started to build stone wall terraces and plant vines. Today the wine-making families maintain the vines and walls with the same dedication and passion as the monks a few hundred years ago. Chasselas, Plant Robert and Pinot Noir are among the various grape varieties cultivated in Lavaux, producing some of the finest Swiss wines. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy a wine-tasting and discover the vineyards by following the many marked trails through the picturesque villages.
