Geneva

"The Geneva region is separated into three areas, the largest of which is Mandement, on the right bank of the Rhône. It is concentrated around the town of Satigny and the vineyards of Peissy.
Although the Chasselas still dominates the white vines, Geneva's winegrowers have won great successes at international wine competitions with classic grape varieties, such as the Chardonnay, usually considered as alternatives. Among the red vines, the Gamay equally dominates with excellent, well-structured wines. However, the Pinot Noir is taking more and more importance just like other red vines.
Geneva is one of the most dynamic wine-producing regions and was the first canton to introduce and adopt laws about the production of wines with the appellation d'origine contrôlée - AOC (controlled term of origin)."

Geneva is Switzerland's third wine-producing canton and it has the country's stronger wine-making density. The hills going around the western end of the Lake of Geneva favour a very diverse production and the putting into use of the most modern wine-producing techniques.
Advantaged by a favourable climate, optimum soil conditions and an effective diffusion, Geneva's region produces an increasing number of distinguished wines, both red and white in about equal quantities.
