Cheers !

Apéro time is non-negotiable! On a terrace, on a rooftop or in the vineyards, it’s time to say cheers with a glass of Chasselas, a craft beer or homemade lemonade.

Have you already tasted Vaud wines?

All it takes is a glimpse of Lavaux terraced vineyards to realise the extent of the Canton of Vaud’s winegrowing wealth. Divided into six distinctive regions, it is known for its iconic grape variety, Chasselas (60% of vineyards). However, there is nothing to stop you from tasting one of the 85 varieties grown in the region, among which the traditional Pinot Noir! Thanks to this diverse range, Vaudvins.ch helps you make the best choice for each occasion.

Did you know?
Since 2018, Lausanne represents Switzerland in the prestigious international Great Wine Capitals network.
In 2021, Vaud winegrowers launched the Escargot Rouge (Red Snail) brand to promote their red wines.
