The experience

The estate has been in the same family since 1872, and the winemakers themselves lead you through the cellars and explain what they grow. You taste several grape varieties produced in the region: in summer you can even touch the grapes as you walk the vineyard rows. There's no fixed schedule for the tasting. You take as much time as you want to sit in the bright garden, courtyard or under the shade, sipping and talking with the people who made the wine.

Your guide is a certified Switzerland Travel Expert fluent in English who drives a clean, modern SUV reserved just for your group. Before heading back to Geneva, you stop at a panoramic viewpoint to see Lake Geneva and the surrounding Swiss Alps. The whole experience runs between two and three hours, and the route is smooth enough that it suits all fitness levels.
