10,000 plots, 450 hectares of terraced vines: Lavaux spills down the slope between 400 and 600 meters, from Saint-Saphorin to Lutry. Stone walls warmed by sun and lake create the famed “three suns” effect that shapes Chasselas. You trace Dézaley to Epesses past capites and stairways once used by growers; just 7 km away, Corsier-sur-Vevey holds the Manoir de Ban, Chaplin’s home from 1953. Vevey’s lakeside promenade, crowned by the monumental Fork, ties together grapes, cinema, and the Léman.
Your day begins at your Montreux hotel, collected in a Mercedes and looked after from start to finish: you taste, your driver handles winding roads and parking. Start with a cellar flight contrasting Dézaley Grand Cru and Calamin, then continue to Chaplin’s World for family archives and film-set recreations; it’s roughly a 15-minute transfer from Epesses to Corsier-sur-Vevey. The return via Vevey stays flexible: a photo stop, a 30-minute stroll if you wish, and the car is ready the moment you are.

Your chauffeur’s tip
Book the tasting late morning and request a lake-facing table: between 11:30 and 12:30 the light rakes the terraces, giving crisp, no-glare photos.
