Beautiful Day in Lavaux

My Mom and I had an amazing time exploring the Lavaux vineyards! Jen was a knowledgeable, personable and well-prepared guide. She curated a beautiful day with two wine tastings and the most spectacular picnic amongst the vines. Jen is clearly knowledgable on the wines of the region, and she presented the history and wine facts in a fun and engaging way. I would highly recommend booking this tour with Jen for anyone who wants to get out in nature and learn about the wines from this spectacular part of the world.
