Nestled at the heart of Europe, it\u2019s no surprise that Switzerland has a rich history with wine. The country is home to small but exciting wine regions that date back to the Roman era.\u00a0This is our guide to Swiss Wine, a comprehensive guide that will make your holidays in Switzerland much more exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Switzerland can\u2019t compete in volume with Europe\u2019s most prolific wine producers, such as France, Spain or Italy, the country is up there with the best in terms of quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The Terroir<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The wine term \u201cterroir,\u201d or sense of place, describes how a country\u2019s geography, latitude, altitude and climate affect how the wine looks, smells and tastes. Experts say one can only make fine wine in the most stunning places, and Switzerland has nothing but dramatic landscapes. Visit Switzerland<\/a>, and you\u2019ll see what we mean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Switzerland<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland\u2019s Alpine mountains, vast lakes and hilly plateau result in fantastic spots for growing grapes and making fine wine. The steep northern shores around Lake Geneva<\/a> are a sight to behold. But people also make wine in the Three-Lake region and in German-speaking Switzerland. You\u2019ll even find enticing red wine in the southernmost Swiss region, where the wine has an Italian flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grapes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not any grape can grow in Switzerland\u2019s extreme geography. However, those that can are amongst the noblest of varietals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty percent of the vineyards you can visit in Switzerland are planted with Pinot Noir<\/strong>, the thin-skinned Burgundian grape behind some of the world\u2019s most famous red wines. For white grapes, Chasselas<\/strong> is not far behind, also representing nearly a third of the vineyards. The rest is a collection of interesting grapes, some well-known and others rare, including Merlot, M\u00fcller-Thurgau<\/strong> and Chardonnay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wine Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What to do with such a varied collection of wine grapes? Wine of all styles and colors, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry table wines made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are amongst the most famous Swiss wines, but the country\u2019s German-speaking cantons produce world-class Riesling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And although these wines are as good as the best in Europe, the country\u2019s most unique style has no parallel elsewhere; the refreshing white wine made with Chasselas in the cantons of Vaud and Valais. Think of crisp and elegant white with extraordinary compatibility at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For something utterly unique, try the Vin des Glaciers, the wine from the glaciers. The Alps\u2019 answer to Spanish Sherry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit Switzerland and Explore its Vineyards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland is heaven for outdoor enthusiasts, skiers, hikers and bikers. It is also a fantastic destination for wine lovers and foodies. Wine tours in Switzerland are an excellent opportunity to learn more about Swiss wine, but so is going out for dinner in the countries many foodie destinations, such as Z\u00fcrich and Lucerne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll rarely see Swiss wine in the international market. But that\u2019s because the Swiss and the twelve million adventurers that visit the county every year drink it all. If you want to taste Swiss wine, you\u2019ll have to visit the beautiful country!
