Swiss vineyards displays a unique variety in the world: an alpine landscape, a different climate depending on the region, and unique grape varieties.
Swiss vineyards cover 14,696 hectares, with more than 2,500 winemakers in six regions: Valais, Vaud, German-speaking Switzerland, Geneva, Ticino and the Three Lakes.

When the days are long and the temperatures soar, the desire to spend time outdoors grows. Whether on a shady terrace, on the shore of a lake, in the garden or on a hike - a fresh rosé, a sparkling white wine or a light red always goes well.
The best way to enjoy these wonderful moments is with a wine from Switzerland, as the local wine production offers a great variety that always provides surprising taste experiences.
The motto “Taste the of summer in Switzerland” invites you to experience and enjoy Swiss wines throughout the summer in restaurants, wine tourism or directly from the winegrowers.
Enjoy the summer and experience Swiss wines in a different way!
