Stafa

Among the towns of the canton of Zurich, Stäfa stands out for its long-established vineyards rising above Lake Zurich. The municipality occupies the lake’s eastern shore, where the lower slopes of the Pfannenstiel meet the water and vineyards share space with residential neighbourhoods and orchards. Wine-growing remains an important part of local identity, linking Stäfa with other lakeside communities shaped by the same fertile slopes. Stäfa also gave its name to the Stäfnerhandel of 1795, when local residents challenged the unequal political order of Zurich’s ancien régime.
