The Wine Trail along the Terrasses de Lavaux - Terraces of Lavaux - is certainly one of the most fascinating hiking and wine trails on Lake Geneva. This wonderful wine region made up of rolling hills sloping down to the lake was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and is perfect for all seasons of the year. We visited it in Autumn, when the yellow of the vineyards makes the landscape even brighter and more charming.

The walk we propose is a linear route that starts from the small town of Lutry - a few kilometers from Lausanne, Montreux and Geneva - and reaches the quaint village of St. Saphorin, where it ends. During the itinerary, you can enjoy beautiful views of Lake Geneva and explore wine cellars, restaurants and wine bars and small self-service shops where you can buy local products and, of course, excellent wine. Also not to be missed is a walk through the alleys of the quaint villages you will encounter along the way, such as Lutry itself, Villette, Epesses and St. Saphorin.  The total route is about 12 km, which can be covered in just under four hours at a relaxed pace. It is an easy route with minimal elevation gain and is almost entirely on paved roads. Along the route you will find some dining options. However, to avoid disappointment we suggest that you check in advance, outside the summer season, the opening hours of restaurants and wineries.
