Lavaux Wine tasting

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.
