Experience It! Lausanne Vineyards UNESCO World Heritage Site Nestled between Lausanne and Montreux, along the crystal shores of Lake Geneva, the bon viveur of a region known as the Swiss Wine Route begs exploration. Switzerland’s largest, most contiguous region stretches for miles (800 hectares to be exact) with daringly-constructed hillside terraces that have earned the UNESCO World Heritage site designation. This is Lavaux, the heart of Swiss wine country, where distinctive vintages feature heady notes of tradition dating as far back as the 11th century, and footpaths whisk you to destinations of pastoral splendor where wine cellars and tasting rooms dot the incredible scenery of the Lavaux vineyard region, awakening all the senses, but most especially, the sense of taste.

Embark on a rail journey to the village of Noiraigue at the eastern end of the Val de Travers. Pedal the banks of the Areuse River on a leisurely and illuminating bicycle tour, where the impressive torrents and bridged ravines of the Areuse deliver you to Motiers, the oldest village in the Val de Tavers. The cultural center of the region, Motiers bears a rich history that’s steeped in art, heritage, and the production of the “green fairy” – known otherwise as absinthe. A visit to the Maison de l’Absinthe introduces you to the eventful history behind the region’s production of absinthe, while a stroll through the grounds of the museum yields the sight of some 1,200-strong plants and herbs – absinthe’s loyal ingredients. Enjoy a tasting of 2 absinthe varietals, and bring out the kid in you during a make-your-own absinthe ice cream workshop. Duration: Approximately 6 hours. Please note a minimum of 10 passengers is required. Transportation is included.
