Magical LAVAUX - The Swiss Wine Terraces [Travel Guide] Saint-Saphorin Town - Lake Geneva Vineyards

Wine Terraces? That already must sound fancy and remind you of Asian rice terraces! Well, if Asia is too far, then probably a trip to South Western Switzerland might be more convenient! The Lavaux are a landscape created by local men, which was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage! Over few tens of Kilometres you will pass by many vineyards and mediterranean-like villages. With Saint-Saphorin and Epesses, this region hosts two of Switzerland's prettiest villages!

While Sain-Saphorin is located right at the bottom of the Lavaux it is just at the coast of world-famous Lake Geneva! This unique location, as well as the nice old houses make Saint-Saphorin to one most beautiful villages of Switzerland. A bit higher up in the middle of the Lavaux is Epesses, from where you nicely can oversee Lake Geneva. Epesses is a bit calmer than Saint-Saphorin, as there is no major traffic road. From Epesses, you can take many trails through the vineyards of the Lavaux and have some fantastic hikes. There are also a couple of wine cellars that you can visit. All in all, this area is one of the moste unique landscapes of all Switzerland!
