Interlaken: Wine & Cheese Tasting at Spiez Castle Vineyards

Less than 2% of Swiss wine ever leaves the country. On this small-group afternoon, a local guide takes you into the Spiez vineyards above Lake Thun to taste 4 Swiss wines with regional cheese.
Switzerland is famous for chocolate, cheese, and mountains. Wine is the secret the country keeps for itself.

Less than 2% of Swiss wine is ever exported. The rest stays here, drunk by the people who make it, in places visitors rarely find. This afternoon, you get a seat at that table.

We drive 25 minutes along Lake Thun to Spiez, where vines have been growing since the medieval period. The vineyard sits on a south-facing slope just below an 11th-century castle. Lake reflection, Alpine soil, afternoon sun: a microclimate that produces wines you cannot find back home.

You'll taste 4 local Swiss wines, each paired with regional cheese, fresh bread from a local bakery, and Bernese specialties. Your guide, who lives and works in the Bernese Oberland, shares the stories behind each bottle and each slope.

Then golden hour arrives. The lake turns silver. The Niesen pyramid catches the last light. Spiez Castle glows against the Alps. It's the kind of moment you didn't plan for that becomes the story you tell longest.

Small group, max 8 guests. Local guide. No script, no crowds.

Who this is for: couples, friends, food and wine lovers, solo travelers curious about Swiss culture, anyone who prefers a slow afternoon to another packed sightseeing list.
