We went by train from La Tour de Peilz to a place called Cully ( pronounced as Queee - alongside the Lake side. We boarded the Laveaux Express a train running on rubber wheels ( basically an automobile pulling trailers) winding its way up the roads to various vineyards Throughly enjoyed our drive up the mountains .
The Lake Geneva in the background was a picturesque sight indeed .
We also halted at one of the vineyards where we saw luscious black as well as green grapes - ready for harvesting. What a pretty sight it was.
The Laveaux Express took us around the vineyards in one hour 15 mts exact.- started bang on the scheduled time and returned bang on the stipulated time.
Each family makes its own wine since centuries when the Romans ruled over this land and the tradition is still continuing .So we found a number of wine making units all along the way .
