Via Francigena Tours is introducing a new Level 1 tour highlighting the UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux vineyards in Switzerland.  There are walks through vineyards on several of the Swiss Via Francigena stages. The most spectacular are the Lavaux vineyards in Stages VFS05 and VFS06. In the 12th Century Cistercian monks constructed the vineyards by building stone walls on the slopes surrounding Lake Léman. Today, these vineyards still flourish in the sun-drenched slopes with the warmth of the walls at night.

If you have a specific part of the Via Francigena that you would like to explore, we can design a tour to suit your needs. Simply fill in the form on the “Custom Tour” page and we will contact you.
