Montreux, Switzerland

The slopes above Lake Geneva tell a story in rows of vines-terraced and tidy, sun-drenched, and centuries old. This morning, set out to explore the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Lavaux wine region, where Cistercian monks first carved these hillsides into agricultural art.

Your Tauck Director provides commentary as you glide past vine-covered, terraced slopes, and rocky bluffs, sharing the stories of the Lorelei Rock and ancient castles standing watch onshore.
