Lavaux Vineyard Terraces
Coast of Switzerland
The Lavaux Vinyard, stretching 18 miles along the Northern shores of Lake Geneva, is the largest contig- uous vineyard in Switzerland. This highly valued wine growing region landed on UNESCO’s World Heritage site list in 2007 due to its contributions to the develop- ment of the area around it since the 11th century. To- day, the area is sometimes referred to as the “best wine region you’ve never heard of,” due to the fact that vir- tually no wine is exported. The beautifully made, easy to drink white wine is made in small batches, so once locals and visitors to the area take their share, there is lit- tle left. Regardless if you are a wine connoisseur or not, this area will grab your attention with its vast amount of hiking trails and unmistakable gorgeous scenery. From charming farmhouses and long running vineyards to the deep blue waters of Lake Geneva, this area will take your breath away.
