      There's some amazing wines in Switzerland, especially the whites. But we drink them all, so it doesn't need to get exported much.

    When you go to the Lavaux wine region - do you need to book wine tastings/tours in advance, or can you just walk in to places?

    Hey, Great Video. We are going to Switzerland this month. And one of the places we would like to go is Lavaux. And will be driving from Geneva. We are from the US, in here we do wine tasting for like $20 for 2 glasses or something like that. Is there a similar thing in Lavaux? I was checking and all wine tours came up. Which is insanely priced. (Pretty sure must be worth it). But if we do not want to do any wine tour and just do a tasting would it work?
    Also, where did you board this cruise from for Lavaux? I checked the link, boats I found are not making stops at Lavaux.

    Have you heard if Switzerland is allowing United States travelers to come into the country if they have been vaccinated yet? I saw that Switzerland removed the United States from their high risk country list but I cannot seem to find confirmation if they are allowing travelers in yet. Thanks!

    Nice and friendly couple but too many graphics on the screen obfuscating the landscape....and too many selfies. Its the place we wish to see, you are charming but its not you we want to watch. Merci beaucoup. I was in Montreux Vevey for nine years in my young age and I love the place, next time show more details. Of course this seems to be a luxury vacation but there are simpler places that are as good. Bonne vacances!
