Lavaux Wine and Vineyard Experience with Boat Cruise｜Switzerland

Discover the heart of Swiss wine country on a full-day journey through the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards — complete with two wine tastings, a gourmet lunch, and a Belle-Époque boat cruise on Lake Geneva.

Begin your adventure with pickup from your hotel in Geneva/Lausanne/Fribourg/Bern by your professional English-speaking guide and dedicated driver. As you travel along the scenic lakeside, your guide shares stories about the city's history, Lake Geneva’s and the Alps legends, and Switzerland’s fascinating culture.

Arrive in Saint-Saphorin, one of Switzerland’s most beautiful villages, famous for its cobblestone streets, medieval charm, and centuries-old winemaking tradition. After exploring the village, continue by car up the terraced slopes of Lavaux to the picturesque hamlet of Chexbres.

From there, enjoy an easy guided walk (1–1.5 hours) through the UNESCO World Heritage vineyards toward Epesses, taking in breathtaking views of the lake and the Alps. Along the way, your guide will share captivating stories about the region’s history, winemaking traditions, and how Lavaux’s unique microclimate shapes its wines.

Next, visit an organic winery to taste several local wines and learn about sustainable production techniques that respect both the soil and tradition.

Then, indulge in a gourmet lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant with one of the best panoramic views over Lavaux. The three-course menu is included, crafted with regional ingredients — a true celebration of Swiss gastronomy. (Drinks available at extra cost.)

In the afternoon, board a Belle-Époque boat for a scenic cruise on Lake Geneva, offering spectacular views of the vineyards from the water. Your guide will share fascinating facts and local legends about the lake and its surrounding landscapes.

After the cruise, travel to the famous wine region of Féchy, located above Rolle, where you’ll visit another renowned Swiss wine producer for your second tasting. Learn about the craftsmanship behind their wines before returning comfortably to your hotel in Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg or Bern.
