5 wine-tasting escapades in the heart of Lavaux
October 9, 2025Lavaux, with its UNESCO-listed terraced vineyards and breathtaking panoramic views, is not just a setting: it is a way of life. Here, wine is tasted to the rhythm of the people you meet, the stories you hear and the emotions you feel.
1. Raise a glass at Domaine Gaillard & Fils
Facing Lake Geneva, three glasses of wine are enough to appreciate the richness of the terroir. On the terrace, a gourmet platter or homemade meal completes the moment, while the weekly tour with the winemaker reveals the secrets of the cellars.
2. Rediscover Chasselas at Domaine Croix-Duplex
Guided by the aroma wheel, explore four Chasselas wines, the king of Lavaux grape varieties. Between discovering flavours and visiting the cellar, the tasting becomes a sensory, convivial and enriching experience.
3. Taste history at Frères Bovy
Here, every stone and every barrel tells a family story. The tasting of four vintages, served in the cellar with its decorated casks or on the terrace with a view, combines heritage and authenticity.
4. Dare to try wine and chocolate pairings in Cully
At the Union Vinicole de Cully, sommelier Marine pairs two white wines and one red with fine artisan chocolates. An intimate tasting where grape varieties and cocoa complement each other with elegance.
5. Share the heritage of Domaine Chaudet
For over a century, the Chaudet family has been cultivating its vines with passion. On the terrace overlooking the lake, choose between a winemaker’s aperitif or a tasting of five great appellations. In your glass, a living heritage to be shared.
In Lavaux, each glass is more than just a wine tasting: it is an experience, a story, an emotion. Here, we don’t just drink wine, we also get to savour the region.
