"Lavaux is a region in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, in the district of Lavaux-Oron. Lavaux consist of 830 hectares of terraced vineyards that stretch for about 30 km along the south-facing northern shores of Lake Geneva.

Although there is some evidence that vines were grown in the area in Roman times, the actual vine terraces can be traced back to the 11th century, when Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries controlled the area. It benefits from a temperate climate, but the southern aspect of the terraces with the reflection of the sun in the lake and the stone walls gives a mediterranean character to the region. The main wine grape variety grown here is the Chasselas."

Lavaux est une région viticole du canton de Vaud (Suisse), connue pour ses vignobles en terrasses au bord du lac Léman. Le 28 juin 2007, Lavaux entre au classement du patrimoine mondial de l'humanité de l?Unesco.

Das Lavaux (früher deutsch Ryf, wozu Ryfwyn, Reifwein ‚Wein vom Lavaux‘[1]) ist ein Weinbaugebiet im Kanton Waadt in der Schweiz am nordöstlichen Ufer des Genfersees. Die im Lavaux verbreitetste Rebsorte ist der Gutedel, hier «Chasselas» genannt." Wikipédia.
