Vevey

Vevey is best known in Switzerland for hosting Nestlé’s international headquarters. Set on the north shore of Lake Geneva, the town lies beside the Lavaux vineyard terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape extending along the lake toward Lausanne. Vevey has also long been associated with food culture: the Alimentarium, founded by Nestlé, explores the history and social role of eating. Its most distinctive public tradition is the Fête des Vignerons, a winegrowers’ festival held only once in a generation and inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
