Privacy policySwitzerland has a strong appreciation for good food, wine and Champagne, so you’ll find plenty of options in its larger cities and more glamorous destinations. Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne and Basel are good places to start, while resorts such as St. Moritz and Gstaad bring a more luxurious Champagne scene.
Switzerland also has a surprisingly interesting local wine culture, with vineyards spread across several regions. Swiss sparkling wine is less well known internationally, but it’s worth trying if you come across it, particularly alongside the country’s excellent cheeses and Alpine cuisine.
Switzerland is a great destination if you want to combine Champagne, food and scenery. You can go from elegant city restaurants to vineyards, lakes or the Alps without travelling huge distances.

Absolutely. Switzerland has several wine-growing regions and a strong local wine culture, although Swiss wines are much less internationally known than those from neighbouring France and Italy.
Try Swiss sparkling wine made using the traditional method if you spot it on a wine list. Producers in regions such as Vaud, Valais and Ticino are worth exploring if you want to discover something local.
Try Swiss cheeses, smoked fish, rösti and lighter Alpine dishes. Champagne can be particularly good with salty cheeses and rich dishes where the acidity helps keep things fresh.
Explore Swiss wines, particularly Chasselas from the French-speaking regions, as well as wines from Valais and Ticino. If you’re visiting in winter, Swiss beer and warming Alpine drinks also have their place.
Explore the Alps, Swiss lakes, historic old towns and vineyards, depending on your route. Cities such as Zurich, Geneva and Lausanne also make excellent bases for day trips into the surrounding countryside.
Definitely. Switzerland offers an easy combination of beautiful scenery, excellent food, wine, charming cities and some seriously good places to drink Champagne.
