breathtaking view of the Alps and Lake Geneva.
You will thus set off on the wine roads, by bike, to meet winemakers, whose internationally
renowned wines are certified Lavaux AOC, but also producers and artisans who contribute to

THEMES
In order to propose an offer adapted to the interests of the greatest number, Wine and Ride Lavaux has chosen to develop several circuits around 3 distinct themes: Wines and Gastronomy, Wines and History, Wines and Crafts + a hybrid formula in after work, to allow the active to take a gentle break after their working day.
As a common thread, the oenological discovery remains the main activity of these
experiments. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lavaux enjoys an international reputation as the beauty of its territory is unique in the world: its terraced vineyards share the view between the Alpine peaks and the magnificent Lake Geneva. A singularity that has earned the Lavaux vineyards their own AOC of the same name!
During each experience, the visit of one of these exceptional domains is included,
complemented by the discovery of the vineyards, then the cellars, followed of course by a wine tasting.
To date, 10 wine partners have chosen to join the Wine and Ride Lavaux adventure: Domaine Chaudet in Rivaz, Domaine Bovy in Chexbres, Domaine Joly and Domaine Croix Duplex in Grandvaux, Domaine Alain Chollet Vitis Musicalis and Domaine Terres de Lavaux in Lutry, Domaine Gaillard & Fils SA in Epesse, and finally the Cave de Moratel, Domaine Potterat and Laurent Berthy in Cully.
