Description
Discover the UNESCO vineyards of Lavaux in a private van from Montreux. Panoramic viewpoints, medieval wine villages, and Chasselas AOC tasting at the Lavaux Vinorama. A 5- to 6-hour tour.
Terraced above Lake Geneva, the Lavaux vineyards are one of the most striking landscapes in Switzerland and one of its best-kept secrets. Stretching 30 km between Lausanne and Montreux, these sun-drenched vineyards have been cultivated since the 11th century and were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
In your private van with a driver-guide, you leave Montreux for a 5- to 6-hour loop through the most beautiful sights of Lavaux and the Swiss Riviera.
The first stop is in Vevey, by the lake, with the famous Giant Fork and the Alps in the background. Then head to Chexbres and its iconic viewpoint, with a bird's-eye view of the entire Lavaux vineyard, Lake Leman and the French Alps.
You then pass through the wine-producing villages of Épesses, Dézaley, and Grandvaux, where the steep slopes of the Grand Cru terraces and the centuries-old low walls open onto 180° panoramas that are unique in Switzerland. In Grandvaux, a statue of Corto Maltese pays tribute to Hugo Pratt in the heart of the vineyards.
The highlight of the tour: a stop at Lavaux Vinorama, the leading space dedicated to Lavaux wines, perched above Leman Lake. There, you will discover a selection of Chasselas AOC and Lavaux reds to enjoy while facing the lake and the French Alps.
As an option, lunch at a local restaurant in the area allows you to extend the experience with local cuisine, facing the lake.
The tour ends in Saint-Saphorin, a medieval lakeside village with its cobbled alleys, 16th-century winegrower houses, and Romanesque church, before returning to Montreux.
Fully private tour: just your group, at your own pace. Pickup and drop off at your hotel included.
