Private Trip from Geneva to Lavaux: Best Wine Region and a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Lavaux sits on the northern shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) in a mountainous region. It’s well-known across Switzerland for its fine wine and famous Canton vineyard.

Switzerland-Tour offers a private, relaxing excursion to discover all the beauty of Lavaux – listed as one of the best places to visit in Switzerland. While it’s not the largest wine region in the world, it’s one of the most picturesque.

Your driver-guide will meet you at your hotel or any convenient location in Geneva to take a stress-free and scenic journey through the beautiful Swiss scenery.

Lavaux is famous for its terraced wine-grape growing region in the canton of Vaud, western Switzerland. The Vaud region produces a quarter of all the Swiss wine and is a symbol of culture and everyday life throughout this region.

Lavaux has been acknowledged as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007 and extends over Lausanne to Montreux, reaching an altitude of 500 meters above sea level and involving several tiny historic villages and the unique City of Vevey. It is best known for the production of fresh and fruity dry white wine from the Chasselas grapes.

We believe that the best way to experience the region is to travel on foot. You’ll have the opportunity to wander the narrow footpaths and stairways and walk through the slanted vineyards all along the banks of Lake Geneva - dating back to 900 AD. You’ll be rewarded by the beautiful pearl views of the full length of Lake Geneva with the Swiss Alps in the distance. You will be amazed at the views of France in the distance, making you feel like you’re in two places at the same time!

Among the most popular tourist destinations is the Cave of the Crausaz, home to a variety of wines. Here, you will have an opportunity to taste the wines and get acquainted with the secrets behind the delicious flavors.

You are also free to dine at a panoramic restaurant and indulge in tasty and traditional meals while experiencing the scenery. There are also wineries or traditional pubs if you fancy a quick taste of something stronger.

After this fantastic journey, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to the starting point in Geneva.
