Lavaux Vinorama

Seriously awesome concept! Had been trekking all day through the vineyards and, unfortunately for us, most of the wine caves were closed since we went walking around on a Tuesday afternoon. We were really disappointed and wanted to try a bunch of wines from the beautiful area we had just explored. This place was right next to the train station, so we went in and had a few tastings, got some complimentary crackers, and ended up buying a few bottles of wine to take home! The worker there was extremely helpful with explaining the different wines, without being pushy at all. I really appreciated his poise, which made me very happy with the experience. A great place to try a bunch of wines from the Lavaux area, and a great way to end a beautiful hike.

The train ride to Lavaux Vinorama is very scenic, and the walk from the train station is short and enjoyable. I really enjoyed this winery. When you first arrive, they send you downstairs to watch a short documentary about the winery. It wasn’t crowded so we were the only ones watching.
After the video we went for our tastings. I enjoyed all the wines! They were fantastic, and I would definitely go back again.

We had a relaxed visit to the vinorama that we can definitely recommend. We did not get rushed while tasting some wines, watching the wine documentary and then even getting offered and addition wine that we just had to taste. Good fun, reasonable priced, friendly personnel.

We were staying in Lausanne and we took the regional train to Rivaz. The Lavaux Vinorama is about a 10-​minute walk from the train station along the busy road in the direction of Lausanne (it is well marked by signs). You can either cross the busy road or take the steps down from the parking area to the tunnel under the road.
You can either sample your choice of wines by the glass from the wine list or you can buy a sampler package and they choose the wines. We had the Chasellas package which included 3 whites and the Discovery which included 3 whites and the Plant Robert (only place this grape is planted) red. You can either get each wine one at a time or all at once. There is also a movie about the wine which is shown in English and French.
The guy who worked there was very friendly and knowledgeable without being «wine snobby.»

As you travel along Lake Leman from Lutry to Montreaux you will begin to notice stone terraced vineyards which is known as the Lavaux vineyards. This area is a UNESCO world heritage site and was built by monks many years ago. There are many walking paths you can take throughout the villages that make up this area, or touristic trains that run from April — October. Whether you are walking or driving this area, the perfect end to a day of exploring is to taste the wines of this region at the Lavaux Vinorama. This tasting room is built into the hillside of the Lavaux next to an impressive waterfall. It is a couple minutes walk from the Rivaz train stop, or there is a parking area if you drive. Inside the tasting room there are several tables set up and surrounding you are a selection of wines to purchase. There are several different tasting packages that you can choose from or you can individually select wines to taste on your own. You can also order bread/​meat/​cheese to have with your wine tasting. They also offer a 20 minute film to watch for free if you taste some wines. The film shows the year in a life of a wine maker in the Lavaux. Each week the tasting room highlights different vineyards from the area so there is always a different selection taste. The service was great and it was a great place to enjoy some wine and hang out with friends.
