Home Wine Wine Regions Switzerland Canton of Geneva
Hidden behind the cosmopolitan city of Geneva, Switzerland's third most important wine growing region stretches towards the French border. The 1,400 hectares of vineyards are divided into three regions: "Mandement-Rive droit" between Vaud and the Rhone, with Satigny as the country's most important wine growing community; "Entre Arve et Rhône" on the left bank of the Rhone; and "Entre Arve et Lac" on the left bank of the lake. The selection of grape varieties is led by Gamay, followed by Chasselas and Pinot Noir. On the rise are Gamaret, Garanoir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. The unique wineries usually have large, contiguous, gently rolling vineyards that can be largely mechanised, allowing for attractive pricing. Despite immense quality efforts, Geneva wines are still little known outside the region. Unjustly so, because they inspire with an almost "French" flexibility, finesse and drinkability.
