Grape Escapes

Time out in the vineyard.

In collaboration with Swiss Wine Promotion, Switzerland Tourism offers unique overnight accommodation in the midst of our Swiss vineyards. Grape Escapes offers guests the opportunity to discover Switzerland as a wine country, to connect with nature, to immerse themselves more deeply and to have an unforgettable and intimate experience.

To mark the occasion, La Région du Lac de Morat is joining the campaign and offering 5 unique accommodations around Lake Morat, in the direct vicinity of the smallest of Switzerland’s great wine-growing regions: Vully.

On the water or in the heart of a castle, you’re bound to find the right accommodation to discover the unique wines produced in the Lake Murten Region.

8 facts about wine in Switzerland

• In 2022, around 99 million 7.5 dl bottles of Swiss wine were produced.
• We Swiss drink 36 bottles of 7.5 dl per capita per year. Of these, 13 bottles come from
  Switzerland.
• Swiss wine is a rarity. Only around 1 % is exported. This is because we Swiss prefer to drink
  the wine ourselves. Domestic demand is so high that there is almost no volume left for
  export. Conclusion: Swiss wine can (almost) only be discovered in Switzerland.
• Around 1500 winegrowers across the six Swiss wine regions produce their own wine.
• Saillon – the smallest vineyard in the world, consists of just three vines. It is located in Valais,
  measures 1.6 square metres and has been owned by the Dalai Lama since 1999.

  of between 650 and 1150 metres above sea level.
