Chablais
Chablais: between lake and valley
The easternmost wine region of Vaud comprises approximately 590 of the canton’s 3,800 hectares. Although relatively small, the diversity of varieties and wine styles is exceedingly large. Besides the main variety of Chasselas, which presents its full charm here, the mostly red wines are also splendid. Pinot Noir selections present a thoroughly Burgundian dimension. But for several years, exquisite specialties have also been pressed from varieties like Merlot and Syrah.
Waadt
Vaud: stronghold of the Chasselas
Vintners of Vaud have almost stubbornly maintained their loyalty to their preferred variety, Chasselas. This is now paying off, as white wines with moderate alcohol content are experiencing a renaissance. And vintners today interpret the lightness of Chasselas in their own individual ways. Over 100 chateaux produce wine here. By contrast, the wine villages fascinate with rural charm. It is these contrasts that make this winegrowing canton an exciting destination for wine tourism.
Switzerland
Switzerland – A small country with enormous diversity
Switzerland is famous for its banks, watches, and cheese, but not necessarily for its wine. The Swiss didn't invent wine, but they have been extremely open and curious to it. Wine culture arrived in what is now modern Switzerland via several routes: from Marseilles to Lake Geneva and the Lower Valais region; from the Aosta Valley through the Great St. Bernard Pass to the rest of Valais; from the Rhone through Burgundy, across the Jura Mountains to Lake Constance; and from Lombardy to Ticino, and then on to Grisons.
