About Switzerland: The Smart Traveller’s Wine Guide

 
With its towering snow-covered peaks, storybook villages and mirror-like lakes, travellers have been drawn to Switzerland for centuries. But the wonderful wines of this unique Alpine country are less known. Switzerland is home to hundreds of grape varieties; vineyards, planted on ancient stone terraces, cling to the mountain slopes. The wines of Switzerland are one of Europe’s hidden treasures – and there’s never been a better time to discover them.

Everything you need to know about Switzerland and its wines:

• The best wineries for tours and tastings

• Where to eat and where to stay

• Wine routes

• Where the winemakers dine

• Swiss wine styles and grape varieties

• Swiss wine history and geography

• Swiss wine classifications

‘The books that taught me about wine were about places and people. It’s the history and stories about a wine that bring it to life and make it worth talking about.’
