Join us for a Friday night unlike any other. This vineyard experience combines a visit with Valérie and Vincent Chollet of Aran, celebrating their work as winemakers and the breathtaking views of the lake and alps from Aran in Lavaux, with sabering sparkling wine, and fondue dinner.
The Plan
You will have a vineyard walk with the winemakers to learn about their work. Secondly each participant will receive 1 bottle of organic sparkling wine and have a sabering lesson from our guru with an (unsharpened) sword, to learn the technique of opening bottles in this unconventional manner. This will be followed by a fondue dinner with local gruyere/vacherin cheeses, apéro snacks and artisanal sourdough bread.
What to wear
Wear sneakers or good walking shoes for the vineyard walk, and optional walk downhill to the train station. Clothing adapted to the weather as the walk and sabering are outdoors, dinner is indoors in the tasting room.
Arrival
Take a taxi to the vineyard, or arrive by train from Lausanne to Lutry, and Xavier, the host will pick you up. if you would like a pick up, be sure to register in advance and write him a note.
