I would like to visit vineyard in Montreux – Lausanne, Lutry etc, but not sure where to start and how should the route go.

I heard Lutry is beautiful. How should I plan for the route and how to go around the vineyard.

Is half day sufficient?

Hi Myfootstep,

The area you are planning to visit is Lavaux (eastern Lake Geneva): http://www.myswissalps.com/la kegeneva

Lutry is indeed beautiful! There is a walking suggestion here (note this is not really a hike, as the walk is very easy!) http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king/lutry-epesses but you can in fact go from Lutry to St Saphorin which takes 3 hours 15 mins.

If you don’t feel like walking, you can take the Lavaux Panoramic train which includes vineyard visits: http://www.lavaux-panoramic.ch

Depending on the days you will be there, there are some open vineyard events and tastings: http://www.vignerons-lavaux.ch/N218/manifes tations-lavaux.html” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>tations-lavaux.html

It seems August and September are very busy!

To plan travel, you will need to use the timetable: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

Hope that helps and enjoy your visit!!

Hi 1960man

Indeed, however the regional train doesn’t get close up and personal with the vineyards 😉

I have found with a number of visitors through the years that it is a good way for them to experience the vineyards without having to walk if their fitness levels are limited.

I also loved how they include a tour through a cellar and explanation of how the wine is made, as well as a wine tasting!

Personally though I prefer the “caves ouvertes” / hiking alternative haha.
