Swiss Wine

866 wineries, 6 regions, 200+ grape varieties

Switzerland is one of Europe's best-kept wine secrets. With 866 wineries across six distinct wine regions, the country produces wines from over 200 grape varieties — more variety per hectare than almost any other wine-producing nation. Yet less than 2% of Swiss wine is ever exported. To taste it, you come here.

From the steep, sun-drenched terraces of Lavaux overlooking Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean-climate vineyards of Ticino, Swiss wine reflects its geography: diverse, precise, and shaped by extreme terrain. The country's four language regions (German, French, Italian, and Romansh) each bring their own winemaking traditions, grape varieties, and drinking culture.
