Zurich has a polished and international restaurant and wine scene, making it one of the best places in Switzerland to look for Champagne. You’ll find everything from dedicated wine bars and elegant hotel bars to restaurants where a bottle of Champagne can easily turn dinner into a Champagne celebration.
The Old Town, Bahnhofstrasse and Zürich-West are good areas to explore, with plenty of restaurants and bars within easy reach of each other. Zurich is also a great city for restaurant Champagne moments – whether you’re looking for a proper dinner, a casual glass by the bar or somewhere special for an occasion.
Switzerland has its own wine culture too, so keep an eye out for Swiss sparkling wines and local wines from regions such as Zürich and nearby eastern Switzerland.
Zurich works particularly well if you want to combine Champagne, good food and a city break. And if you have more time, the surrounding lakes and countryside make it easy to add a little Swiss scenery to the trip.

Try oysters, seafood, smoked fish, Swiss cheeses and lighter seasonal dishes. Champagne’s acidity works particularly well with rich or salty foods.
Try Swiss wines, particularly Chasselas and wines from nearby regions. Swiss craft beer is another option if you want to explore beyond wine.
