Caves à vin- Maisons des vins Switzerland

Here's the address of a winemaker who is developing some interesting wines. There's a lot of innovation here, such as the Xtrème gamay, which is made from a cuvage that lasts over 100 days, whereas it normally takes 10! Maurice Neyroud is delighted to welcome you to his estate, and what better way to start than with a visit to get to know him and his wines in a friendly atmosphere. Group tastings are also available. There's no better way to understand the subtleties of the wines.

Beautiful and authentic vaulted cellar where you can taste the estate's wines, including the appellations épesses, calamin and dézaley. It is said that the wines of Epesses are robust and endowed with a strong personality that asserts itself with fruity and spicy aromas reminiscent of pineapple, pepper or black truffle. The Grands Crus of Calamin are racy and virile, with a powerful terroir that impregnates the wines with a slight bitterness and serene flavours. A refreshing stopover!

Are you a fervent reader of the comics recounting the round-the-world adventures of Hugo Pratt's handsome hero Corto Maltese? The adventurer's creator lived in Grandvaux until his death in 1995. A statue of Corto, staring out over the lake, immortalizes the cartoonist. The cellar is tastefully decorated, with a sublime terrace overlooking the whole of Lavaux. The ten winegrowers represented all cultivate their vines in the village of Grandvaux, and take it in turns to provide tastings in a convivial atmosphere.

A place where winegrowers can talk about their work, their vines and their know-how. The Saint-Saphorin winegrowers welcome you in turn and take the time to introduce you to the particularities of their terroir. On the website, you can find out which winery will be exhibiting during your visit. In the cellar, you can meet the growers and, above all, get a broader view of the grape varieties grown in Lavaux. We look forward to meeting you and tasting your wines.

Another nice tasting to do in the area, with a magnificent view of the vineyard! Situated on the edge of the lake, in the shade of the Place d'Armes, the view is breathtaking over the vineyard. Entirely dedicated to wine tasting, the Caveau des Vignerons is a warm place to discover the wines of Lavaux. In the summer, the Apéro Lac is a popular event with a chair and a basket filled with good products: a bottle of wine and tomme vaudoise.

After a stroll through the medieval village, it is time for a tasting session. We advise you to make a wine stop at the Caveau des Vignerons. Here, the owners have chosen to create a meeting place to bring together small producers from the surrounding area with tourists passing through the area. So don't hesitate to go and taste it! Behind the heavy door, the atmosphere is generally lively and you won't regret your visit. It is said that Lutry wine has a little note reminiscent of grapefruit. Original!

Bonvillars is one of the 26 appellations in the canton of Vaud. It is located on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, stretches from Grandson to Concise and benefits from a particularly favourable microclimate for the vinification of chardonnay, chasselas, gamaret, gamay, garanoir, pinot blanc, gris and noir. The range of wines on offer is therefore wide for very reasonable prices. A good place to taste and buy wines that have often won awards and are produced according to environmentally friendly principles. The visit of the cellar allows to have a privileged reception.

It is one of the most remarkable 18th century patrician houses in the Valais. It is opposite the beautiful medieval church of Sainte-Catherine. This building houses the Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation (entrance fee payable). This is where the poet and writer Rainer Maria Rilke lived. His poetic walks and the development of the Valais can be discovered in the permanent exhibition. The Haute École de musique (HEMU) regularly brings these vaulted cellars to life by organising concerts such as the Nuit du piano, which are much appreciated by the people of Sier.

Typical of the region, this is another tasting cellar where you can enjoy fine wine and regional produce. In addition to this, various local festivals take place here: Saint-Vincent de Villette on the last Saturday in January, and Des huîtres et du Villette, on the last Saturday in November. The rest of the time, it's a very pleasant place to have a drink. The setting blends modern, colorful decor with the typical architecture of the vaulted cellar. Ideal for an evening with wine-loving friends!

Patrick Fonjallaz's estate is perhaps one of the most beautiful cellars to visit. The Fonjallaz's activity in the vineyards of Lavaux dates back to the 16th century, making it the oldest family business in Switzerland. The estate covers 35 hectares which are vinified on the property, and also benefits from an incredible terrace. In addition to wine tastings, you are welcome here for various types of events, including weddings.
