Lavaux Vineyard and Chillon Castle - One-Day Excursion in Switzerland

Your private driver will pick you up early in the morning from your hotel in Geneva, Montreux, Annecy, or Chamonix. As you hit the road, begin to marvel at the stunning landscapes of Lake Geneva, inviting daydreams, with the Alps as a breathtaking backdrop…

Then, be amazed by the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stretching for nearly 30 km along the shores of Lake Geneva, the vines span steep slopes supported by stone walls, a testament to human ingenuity since the 11th century. Step into a wine estate to grasp all the specifics of this unique terroir alongside a passionate winemaker. Enjoy a tasting of Lavaux wines with their distinctive aromas, set against a spectacular view of the lake and vineyards. Observe the winding paths that crisscross the vineyards, giving way to workers during harvest. The magical world of wine gradually opens up to you in this remarkable gastronomic interlude…

After a refined lunch featuring the flavors of Switzerland, you'll continue to Chillon Castle, a medieval marvel perched on the edge of Lake Geneva. Your cultural guide will welcome you and lead you to the courtyard to begin a captivating tour of this iconic monument. From room to room, trace the fascinating story of this fortress, both defensive and princely, since its construction in the 12th century. Passed into the hands of the House of Savoy, then the Bernese, and finally the Vaudois, its structure has been modified many times. Wander through the dungeons, along the ramparts, in the courtyards, and in the grand halls, traveling through time with historical anecdotes and the characters who shaped the incredible past of this site... Marvel at the extraordinary views of the Alps and let your imagination be lulled by the sound of Lake Geneva's waves.

It's then time to return to your hotel with your driver, memories filled to the brim from this magical excursion in Switzerland!
