My second year at Arvinis and I was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend going during a week night though, or earlier in the day, as the Friday evening got VERY busy, and it was hard at times to make your way through the crowd to the booth to enjoy a sip. Because of this though, I explored some of the less busy booths, and found some hidden gems! Also, be aware of your glass, as I saw many people getting jostled around, and their glass quickly then just became bits on the ground. I love that there are fountains to wash your glass out at and grab some water to drink located throughout the event. Makes it very convenient. I only wish they had a few more bathrooms. As always, the time at Arvinis goes by very fast, and I soon heard the announcement informing us that the event had ended. It is then a large group of people waiting to get out the door, if you are lucky, you might find some nice booth owners, who are looking to empty their bottles, and you can get some wine to sip on as you exit. read more

A giant wine tasting in an expo center right across from the train in Morges: for 30 Franks you get a glass, and can test every wine (and more)! The wines come from all over the Schweiz and the globe. This year they featured Lebanon, just so you know. They also had sandwiches (which weren't included in the price)- pretty tasty, but small, and the wait staff weren't nice... Toilets are inside, but more or less porto-potty style. And with so much wine tasting, one must wait for a while... When it closed at 10, all the visitors fled to the McD's across the way. So many folks there, we missed our train (even with a delay)! But get there early, or go on a week night, and your wine tasting evening will go perfectly right! read more

Great Wine fair in Lake Geneva area early spring. Small cover but tast as much as you want where you want. The exposition hall is very nice, an old railways storage hall. The atmosphere is great and most of the wine makers offer special deals for the fair and free delivery for a minimum order of a couple of cartons. I look forward every year to go back read more

I highly recommend Arvinis as a fun day out. We did this on the second to last day, Sunday and I found that it wasnt so crowded. We were able to chit chat with all the Lebanese wine vendors, the featured wine region this year. We walked around to all the booths with our glass and tasted all afternoon. They have barrels of running water fountains around so you can rinse your glass out and the best thing is that the event is held steps away from the train station so no one needs to drive...lets face it, its only tiny bit of wine in a glass but for that many wine booths, no one should drive home. You cant buy wine and take it home with you at the event but they take orders and deliver it and I beleive the shipping was free for Switzerland. The bathrooms were pretty clean considering I was there at the end of the event and they did sell some food as well which was a pleasant surprise. read more
