The Vineyard Terraces of Lavaux / Les vignes du Lavaux, Vaud, Switzerland, Suisse - A ballad in the UNESCO protected vineyard in Fall, with Canon 5D MKII, Canon 24-70mm 2.8 L & 16-35mm 2.8 L USM
The Lavaux Vineyard (Switzerland / Schweiz) Terraces are now protected by UNESCO - Les vignes du Lavaux, Vaud, Suisse
Last weekend was quite fantastic for a walking ballad in the beautiful landscape of Lavaux Vineyard (Les vignes du Lavaux). It was fall and the yellow and orange leafs were still on, shining like fire with the sun. Quite warm for fall, it was a real pleasure to walk in the Lavaux vineyard, with dramatic beautiful view on the Leman Lake (Geneva Lake). It’s actually a pleasure to make photo in the Lavaux, since any place give a very nice view on the vineyard. Definitely a recommended place to go if you pass by the Leman region, between Lausanne and Montreux. Most of the pictures below have been taken between St-Saphorin, Chexbres, Epesses, Dézaley and Rivaz, all small villages of Lavaux. The wine from the Lavaux is actually sold by local producer directly from their cave, and you can have “degustation” wine taste if you simply ask them! Wonderful place, and good white wine too!

The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces are stretching for about 30 km along the south-facing northern shores of Lake Geneva from the Chateau de Chillon to the eastern outskirts of Lausanne in the Vaud region. There is some evidence that vines were grown in the area in Roman times, the present vine terraces can be traced back to the 11th century.


Lavaux Vineyard Terraces (Geneva Lake, Léman region) shot with Canon 5D MKII, Canon 24-70mm 2.8 L USM and Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L USM - perfect camera and combo for postcard landscape photo
All shot have been done with Canon 5D MKII, Canon 24-70mm 2.8 L USM and Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L USM. I’ve done a bit of correction with Adobe Lightroom 3.0 to ensure the sky highlights get corrected (I didn’t have any polarising filter on the 16-35mm, which doesn’t help with such sunny conditions). I’m pretty happy of the result, let me know what you think and enjoy the beautiful views over “les vignes du Lavaux”.
