DESTINATION LÉMAN REGION
Between lake and mountains, the vineyards of Destination Léman flourish in a bright landscape shaped by the shores of Lake Geneva and the gentle slopes rising above them. Here, the vines benefit from a unique microclimate, nurtured by the lake’s mild influence and the freshness of the Alps, producing elegant wines.
An exceptional terroir between water and hillsides
Located in the heart of the Chablais UNESCO Global Geopark, the Lake Geneva vineyards are distinguished by their morainic and limestone soils, which shape wines with a distinctive character. Chasselas, the region's emblematic grape variety, displays its full finesse here, particularly within the local appellations: the Crépy AOC, found in the communes of Douvaine and Ballaison, and the Marignan AOC in the commune of Sciez. These dry white wines, remarkably fresh and subtly elegant, offer floral, mineral, and fruity aromas, a true reflection of the purity and serenity of the Lake Geneva landscapes.
Destination Léman is best discovered by taking your time: time to explore the hillsides, share a wine tasting overlooking the lake, and meet the producers in their cellars or at the heart of their estates. Guided tours, walks through the vineyards, and wine-related events invite everyone to enjoy an authentic experience, blending culture, terroir, and the art of living.
