Vineyard Visit & Fondue Dinner in Lavaux

Join us for a Friday night unlike any other. This vineyard experience combines a visit with Constance and Jean Duboux of Riex, celebrating their work as winemakers and the breathtaking views of the lake and alps from Lavaux, with sabering sparkling wine, and fondue dinner.

The Plan

You will have a vineyard and wine cellar introduction with the winemakers to learn about their work. Secondly each participant will receive 1 bottle of organic sparkling wine and have a sabering lesson from our guru with unsharpened sword, to learn the technique of opening bottles in this unconventional manner. This will be followed by a fondue dinner with local gruyere/vacherin cheeses, apéro snacks and artisanal sourdough bread.

What to wear

Wear sneakers or good walking shoes for the vineyard walk, and optional walk downhill to the train station. Clothing adapted to the weather as the walk and sabering are outdoors, dinner is indoors in the tasting room.
