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.

From 29 to 31 October 2026, the ‘Lâche-moi la Grappe’ Wine Fair will take over the Anciens Abattoirs in La Chaux-de-Fonds for its 7th edition. Born out of the passion of a group of friends from La Chaux-de-Fonds, this event has become the largest wine fair in the canton of Neuchâtel.
Forty wineries from across Switzerland will be presenting their wines in a friendly atmosphere where every visitor can sample the wines and chat directly with the winemakers. Between stands, there’ll also be a game menu from the restaurant L’Orologio. The venue is easily accessible by train or bus, just a stone’s throw from Les Forges station.
