Know more about your day trip
Yes, wine tasting is one of the highlights of a visit to Chexbres. Several small, family-run domaines in the area welcome visitors and offer tastings of their locally produced Chasselas and other varietals. Picking up a bottle or two directly from a producer is a rewarding way to take home a taste of the Lavaux region.
Chexbres is about 12 miles (19 km) from Montreux, a drive of roughly 20 minutes along the northern shore of Lake Geneva. From Chexbres, Vevey is approximately 8 miles (13 km) away, about 20 minutes by car. The scenic lakeside route is a highlight of the journey in itself.
Yes, Charlie Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life in Vevey and is buried nearby in Corsier-sur-Vevey. The town embraces his legacy warmly, with a life-size bronze statue by the lake and Chaplin's World museum located in his former estate, a short distance from the center. It's a delightful cultural connection for visitors.
It's an excellent choice. The Lavaux region produces some of Switzerland's most celebrated wines, much of which is consumed locally and rarely exported. A visit to Chexbres gives you direct access to the source, with vineyard walks, tasting opportunities, and breathtaking scenery that make it one of Switzerland's most rewarding wine destinations.
The Lavaux vineyard terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covering about 11 square miles (30 square kilometers) along the shores of Lake Geneva. The terraced vines date back to the 11th century and produce some of Switzerland's finest white wines. Chexbres sits at one of the most scenic viewpoints, offering sweeping panoramas over the lake and the Alps beyond.
Late summer and autumn (August to October) are the most rewarding times to visit, as vineyards are in full activity and harvest season brings the region to life. Spring offers fresh greenery and fewer crowds. The area is beautiful year-round, but winter can be quiet with some establishments closed.
Vevey is a charming lakeside town with a lively old town, scenic waterfront promenade, and the famous Charlie Chaplin statue on the lakefront. The Alimentarium food museum is an interesting stop, and the covered market on the Grand-Place hosts a vibrant weekly market. The view of Lake Geneva framed by the Alps is consistently stunning from the waterfront.
The route is relatively mild compared to the higher Swiss Alps, so standard comfortable travel attire works well. Walking shoes are recommended as the vineyard paths in Chexbres can be uneven. Bring a light layer for breezes off the lake, and a camera — the views over Lake Geneva are among the most photogenic in Switzerland.
