The vineyards of Lavaux
10 February 2019
The vineyards of Lavaux or the Lavaux region are also called the “Land of the Three Suns”: the sun from the sky, the sun from Lake Geneva, which acts like a mirror (Lac Léman), and the sun from the walls, which absorbs heat.
Lavaux’s landscape is one of the most extensive vineyards in Switzerland and encompasses 14 villages. It is located in the Canton of Vaud on the shores of Lake Geneva between Vevey and Lutry and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
