Wine Near Interlaken
Interlaken sits between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz in the heart of the Bernese Oberland — not a traditional wine region, but a gateway to some of Switzerland's most scenic vineyard visits. The Lake Thun shoreline and the slopes above Spiez harbour small vineyards producing Pinot Noir and Chasselas at altitude. Further afield, the Valais (90 minutes south) and the Three Lakes region (60 minutes northwest) are within easy day-trip reach.
