It is also a wonderful opportunity to explore Switzerland’s six wine regions. Each reveals its landscapes, soils, grape varieties, and unique expressions of wine. A richness to discover, weekend after weekend, through the Open Cellars events taking place across the country. Here are the dates by region:

8-9 May: Neuchâtel
14-16 May: Valais
16-17 May: Tessin (Sottoceneri)

If your curiosity goes beyond the time you have available, another option is open to you. Our “Collection 6” offers a journey through the six Swiss wine regions, with a selection of six bottles from six of us.

We would be delighted to meet you in one of our cellars, share a glass, and connect over the course of May… or at another time.

Les Artisanes

As Switzerland’s third-largest wine canton, Geneva stands out for the diversity of its landscapes and terroirs. The vineyard stretches across the hillsides of the Mandement, the villages between the Arve and Rhône rivers, and the region between the Arve and Lake Geneva. From Satigny to Jussy, passing through Dardagny, Bernex, Soral, and Anières, each area reveals its own identity and a rich diversity of grape varieties.

For one day, more than 70 wineries will open their doors to showcase the 2025 vintage as well as the 2024 barrel-aged wines. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore Geneva’s wine villages, meet the winemakers, and discover the many expressions of the canton’s wines.

The day pass, available directly at the wineries for CHF 20.–, takes the form this year of an original badge designed by internationally renowned press cartoonist Patrick Chappatte, who also created the official poster for this edition. The pass also includes the traditional engraved tasting glass bearing the canton’s coat of arms, designed for an optimal tasting experience.

Several Geneva Artisanes du Vin will be there to welcome you and share their wines:

• Emilienne Hutin Zumbach | Dardagny
• Céline Dugerdil | Avully
• Sophie Dugerdil | Dardagny
• Sarah Meylan Favre | Cologny
• Francesca Maigre | Bernex
• Adeline Wegmuller | Jussy

Between the Jura mountains, the Prealps, and Lake Geneva, the Geneva vineyard offers a remarkable diversity of styles and terroirs. Chasselas, Chardonnay, Gamay, and more confidential grape varieties can be discovered throughout the wineries and encounters, in a warm and festive atmosphere.

Practical information, participating wineries, and event details are available on Genève Terroir.

From Lavaux and its UNESCO World Heritage terraces to the landscapes of La Côte, Chablais, Vully, Bonvillars, and the Côtes de l’Orbe, the Vaud Open Cellars invite visitors to explore the richness and diversity of the Vaud wine region.

Ticino offers a distinctive expression of Swiss wine. Merlot holds a central place here, alongside other grape varieties that reflect the diversity of the terroirs and the influence of a southern climate. Between sunlit hills and landscapes opening toward the south, each estate reveals its own relationship to the land, to craftsmanship, and to time.

Among the participating winemakers, two members of Nous Artisanes du Vin open their doors and share their world:

• Miriam Hermann-Gaudio | I Vini di Miriam, Castello di Monteggio
