If you’re looking for something a little different to do with your family or friends, why not sign yourself up for this year’s “Balade - Au Fil du Gout”, organized by the Morges Tourist Office.
Taking place on Saturday 3rd September, this fourth edition of the gastronomic stroll along the vineyards of Morges will enable you to savour local wines and dishes while enjoying unbeatable views of Lake Geneva and the mountains beyond.
A new route has been prepared this year, going through the wine cellars of Yens, Lavigny, Etoy and Saint-Prex. At each cellar, participants will receive information about wine growing and will have the opportunity to enjoy different courses of a gastronomic meal. This mouth-watering experience will start with an appetizing aperitif of crudités at the Domaine Jean-Daniel et Sylvie Coeytaux in Yens, and finish with a choice of delicious tarts for dessert at the Domaine de Bon-Boccard in Saint-Prex. In between there will be the opportunity to sample a fine meal of “saucisson en croute” prepared at the Domaine Les Remans in Lavigny, followed by a selection of cheeses to taste at the Domaine des Chentres in Etoy.
For English speakers, there will be a special English group starting at 10.30am, but places are limited so you are advised to book early. All tours, which run at 9h30, 10h30, 11h20 and 12h00, will start at Morges train station where the first leg of the journey begins, by train to Yens. Between Yens and Etoy, participants will be able to enjoy wonderful views across Lake Geneva as they stroll between the vineyards. The final leg of the journey between Etoy and Saint-Prex will take place in a special tourist train.
