Bourg-en-Lavaux

The landscape around Bourg-en-Lavaux is a steep, sun-facing slope descending to Lake Geneva, which has shaped both the compact settlements and the local wine economy. This Vaud municipality occupies part of Lavaux, where generations of growers built stone-walled vineyard terraces above the water. The Lavaux vineyard terraces were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2007, recognising a cultural landscape worked since the 11th century. Cully, Epesses, Grandvaux, Riex and Villette retain distinct village centres amid the vines. Local cellars are especially associated with Chasselas, the white grape central to Vaud wine.
