Chardonne

Chardonne is best known in Vaud for the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape above Lake Geneva. The commune occupies the lake’s steep northern slopes, where vines, stone retaining walls and narrow paths follow the contours of the land. Viticulture has shaped this part of the French-speaking Swiss Riviera for centuries, with Chasselas the grape most closely associated with the region. Chardonne also lies close to Vevey and the wooded heights of Mont Pèlerin, connecting the lakeshore wine country with the uplands behind it.
