Cultivating the vine is taken very seriously in both places and they form enclaves almost entirely "isolated" by hanging vineyards on the steep hills that drop down to the water's edge. The mild climate in that region also helps to make Montreux and Vevey particularly well-suited resorts for relaxing holidays and are very popular for weekend trips.
