The vineyard terraces of Lavaux are among the most impressive wine-growing regions in Switzerland. Around 800 hectares of vineyards stretch for more than 30 kilometers along the north-eastern shore of Lake Geneva between Lausanne and Vevey.
(firmenpresse) - These breathtaking terraces are located in the canton of Vaud and were created by the monks of the Cistercian order back in the 12th century. Today they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The terraces of Lavaux are known for their viticulture, particularly for the characteristic Chasselas grape variety, which is widespread in the region. Around thirty other grape varieties are also cultivated here. Thanks to the mild climate, the grapes thrive magnificently and benefit from up to ten hours of sunshine a day in summer.
Wine production in Lavaux is characterized by traditional cultivation methods and the craftsmanship of the winegrowers. The steep terraces require laborious manual work, as the use of machinery is limited. This ensures the high quality of the wines, which reflect the unique character of the region.

The terraces offer breathtaking views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains. Hiking trails lead along the terraces, which are lined with vineyards, charming villages and historic buildings.
