500 cellars to visit!

If you missed Arvinis in Morges and its 2,500 wines, don’t worry! There’s another chance to discover some fine vintages - these ones Swiss.

In Valais on the Ascension public holiday weekend, around 200 cellars will be open for tasting between May 13-15, from 11 am to 7pm.

Check out the producer listing here and let yourself go. Producers are generally very welcoming and will often explain to you how they go about creating their wines.

In Vaud, a similar event is scheduled to take place the week-end after, May 21-22. This one is a little more confusing, because each cellar has its own opening hours.

Best look at the listing here. Special trains and buses are available to go from place-to-place without the bother and risk of a car . . . or designated driver.
