A small wine region with great wines
Welcome to the smalles of Switzerland’s great vineyards!
The Vully wine-growing region accounts for only 1% of the wine-growing area of Switzerland. Nevertheless, the Vully wine region covers an area of 160 hectares of vineyards, where more than 26 grape varieties are grown and harvested. It is the only wine region in Switzerland that is located in two different cantons – Vaud and Fribourg – but has a common AOC.
Organic wines from the Vully
Organically produced wines are becoming increasingly popular these days, as more and more people attach importance to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Almost one third of the sunny vineyards in Vully are now cultivated according to strict organic guidelines and with great consideration for the local flora and fauna. Organic viticulture is carried out without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers, thus protecting the soil and promoting a healthy ecosystem. The vines grow in a natural environment and thus develop a unique flavour. The following wineries in Vully stand for natural and sustainable pleasure:
