In Switzerland's wine-producing regions, which include Valais, Vaud, German-speaking Switzerland, Geneva, Ticino and the Three-Lakes region, over 2,500 winegrowers cultivate 14,569 hectares of vineyards.
The special relief of the Swiss vineyards leads to viticulture on a human scale, where the winemaker's hand is the most important tool in helping the grapes to ripen.
Switzerland offers numerous wine tourism destinations and activities in the heart of the Alps. A wide variety of landscapes and grape varieties ensure exciting experiences.

7th edition of the Côtes de l’Orbe Wine Fair
7th edition of the Côtes de l’Orbe Wine Fair: a unique immersion in the terroirs of the Côtes de l’Orbe and Schaffhausen!
The Côtes de l'Orbe Wine Fair returns for its 7th edition on November 14 and 15, 2025, in Daillens, in the Gros-de-Vaud region. This unmissable event will offer a unique and convivial experience for wine and terroir lovers, showcasing regional excellence and the wines of the foothills of the Jura. The winegrowers of the Côtes de l'Orbe welcome you to the Jean Villard-Gilles hall in Daillens, where you can explore a wide selection of quality wines, characterized by a unique terroir and a centuries-old winegrowing tradition. This year, the event continues to highlight the diversity of our region with several highlights: a guest region, a local produce market, and a stage of the famous “Verre d'Or” competition.
Exceptional wines and a trip across the Rhine
Nineteen winemakers from the Côtes de l'Orbe appellation will be present to showcase their wines, which come from a vineyard covering approximately 180 hectares, spread over 22 municipalities between Yverdon-les-Bains and Éclépens. In addition to these local producers, two guest wineries from the canton of Schaffhausen, renowned in particular for their emblematic grape variety, “Blauburgunder,” grown on limestone soils in a temperate climate, will be making a special appearance at the event.
Local produce market
Alongside the wine stands, a local produce market will bring together a selection of local artisans. You will find craft beers, charcuterie, cheeses, artisanal preserves, macarons, chocolates, and many other products reflecting the gastronomic richness of our region.
Contests and entertainment On Saturday morning,
