Starting from Geneva, your journey begins with a lovely drive to Montreux, a pleasant lakeside city renowned for its lively vibe and incredible views.

After touring the city, it's time to take a picturesque boat ride to the famous Chillon Castle over Lake Geneva's glistening waters. This boat trip is an adventure in and of itself, offering unmatched panoramas of the stunning Alps and the charming lakeside villages as you float over the lake.

Discover its impressive architecture and intriguing history by taking a tour of this medieval fortress, which dates back to the 12th century. You will be taken back to a past filled with knights and stories as you explore its medieval halls, towers, and dungeons.

Enjoy a private wine tasting in the castle following your tour, where you may taste exquisite wines from the Clos de Chillon vineyard, which is grown on the castle's property. Tasting the wines inside the castle walls adds a unique touch to this remarkable experience, which is made using ancient methods.

Two options are available for lunch: you can enjoy yourself and eat at the adorable Café Byron, which serves delightful regional gastronomy in a comfortable atmosphere.
