Open Wine Cellars Geneva
Geneva, the third-largest winemaking canton in Switzerland, plays a special role with its three distinctive regions: Mandement, the area between the “Arve and Rhone” rivers (Lully, Bernex, Soral, etc.) and between the “Arve and Lake” (Jussy, Anières, Gy, etc.).
Saturday 24 May 2025 some 75 wineries around the canton will welcome the public to showcase the 2024 vintage and wines from 2023 that have matured in oak.
The day offers the opportunity to take a wonderful hike through the Geneva countryside, passing from one village to another, and to explore the three regions, each with its own personality.
The day’s Pass and the engraved glass
The Pass for the Open Wineries Day is sold for CHF 20 at the cellars. It includes the well-known tasting glass made specially for the event. The glass is designed to provide a high quality tasting experience; the base is engraved with the canton’s arms.
