Culture 
It is said that the vines, which produce mainly
Chasselas grapes, flourish thanks to “three
suns”: not just direct sunlight, but also sunshine
reflected off the surface of the lake, and
the sun’s heat, stored by day in the terrace
walls.
In addition to vineyard tours and wine tastings,
the region offers a host of cultural activities and
an exceptional gastronomic variety, as well as
several theme trails.
Lavaux - terraced vineyards.

The terraced vineyards of the Lavaux that overlook
Lake Geneva and the Alps beyond have
been producing wines for centuries, and are
rich in history and living tradition. Over an area
of 830 hectares, enterprising monks and – later
– winemakers created an extraordinary landscape
of great beauty.
