Intro
The traditional art of viticulture meets modern technology: using your smartphone and the free Vaude:Guide app, you can experience the region’s winegrowing areas in an interactive way.
The viticultural trails of the Vaud region document the art and history of wine cultivation in the area. The fascinating information boards are supplemented with anecdotes and games on the Vaud:Guide app. To find out how the app works, click on this link. The quiz questions and games are suitable for children from the age of eight, ensuring plenty of fun for all the family on the discovery trail. While the virtual companion is of course excellent, no visit would be complete without sampling some local drops in the real surroundings of a wine cellar.
