Wines and spirits Geneva

Located in the Pâquis district, at the back of a courtyard, this is a place for initiates and connoisseurs. The sign "Attention vins vivants, veuillez garder la porte fermée" (Please keep the door closed!) is rather flattering and evocative of the state of mind of this team of "wine masters", who pass on their respect for "natural" winemaking to connoisseurs, of course, but also to Geneva's terroir-sensitive restaurateurs. Here you'll find some great finds from French, Swiss, Italian and Spanish winemakers, not always very well known, and that's a good thing!

In Geneva, the wine shop par excellence. In a large arcade with a contemporary decor, Lavinia offers from floor to ceiling more than 2,500 references of wines from the most beautiful wine regions. A world tour awaits you: Swiss, French and European wines and wines from all over the world at all prices (even a selection of wines at less than 10 CHF). The culture of the establishment is to give priority to customer advice and to offer good products, some of which are very rare. The sommeliers are there to listen to you, follow your tastes and do not hesitate to suggest wines to be tasted in the restaurant area. Small wine producers are considered on the same level as the world-famous grands crus. What is important is to satisfy the palate and the discovery of the customer. Courses and tasting evenings, sometimes accompanied by a meal, are regularly organised. With moderation, of course...but to be tested without exception.

A delicatessen specialising in wines, champagnes, liqueurs and top-of-the-range spirits. More than 1,000 references: wines from the Swiss and French wine-growing regions, but also from all over the world. This very spacious shop is located in the station's shopping mall, right next to the Rôtisserie and Migros. Its assets: the grocery store is open on Sundays and holds a selection of "cool" wines. You will also find Geneva wines with the Geneva Terroir label, such as the Spirit of Geneva, the cult wine. Very practical!

This shop will appeal to wine lovers. It offers all the necessary equipment to create your own wine cellar. Stone, metal or wooden racks, wooden furniture or burgundy racks will decorate your basement and Winecooler appliances will provide your cellar with the optimal climatic conditions for the conservation of your best bottles. But also wine cellars of the Tastevin or Dunavox brands. Finally, all sorts of small objects ranging from decanters to decanters, corkscrews to screw pulls, or champagne buckets to vinegar makers, will give you plenty of gift ideas.

Undoubtedly the oldest wine trading cellar in Geneva. Present in Geneva for over 200 years, the Cave du Palais de Justice has the privilege of having superb cellars (former cellars of the Hospital) with wines and spirits worthy of the place, 250 varieties presented for whisky-lovers and a very fine selection of vintage Armagnacs. Here, you will be passionately advised according to your personality or the tonalities of the wines you wish to discover.

The Roman God opens the doors of the cellar-boutique for a journey of discovery into the land of wine elixirs. "We love what is good" is the motto of the wine merchants. They want to develop a taste for wine in their customers by helping them discover their great wines as well as their small wines and wines of character. Wines of the world, rare wines and great bottles (jeroboams or magnums), champagnes. Very good advice is given to choose your Geneva wine. It is also a restaurant where you can enjoy a perfect match between food and wine.

Did you know that the city of Geneva is surrounded by famous vineyards? How about a tasting of Swiss wines during your stay? Every year in May, Open Cellar Day is an opportunity to visit the cellars, taste and discover the wines. Every Thursday evening, we invite you to the producers' boutique for a wine tasting with the winemakers from 6pm to 8pm, hosted by the winemakers themselves, who will teach you all the subtleties of a perfectly successful wine tasting.
