Chauffeur's tipSome wineries in Lavaux sit on steep, narrow lanes between the terraces; send the exact address so the chauffeur can choose the right access road.
The route from Geneva Airport to Cully
The chauffeur takes the A1 motorway along Lake Geneva towards Lausanne, past Nyon, Rolle and Morges. Around Lausanne, the route joins the A9 bypass and leaves near Belmont or Lutry, then descends towards the lake and follows the shore road east to Cully. The journey takes around an hour and offers fine views of the lake and the Alps on the last section. It stays within Switzerland, crossing from the canton of Geneva into Vaud.
Arriving in Cully
Cully has a small historic centre with narrow streets by the lake, while many homes and wine estates are scattered on the terraces above. Cars can reach most addresses, but some vineyard lanes are very narrow, so the driver stops at the closest suitable point. Neighbouring villages such as Epesses, Riex, Villette and Grandvaux are also served, as are the lakeside hotels between Lutry and Vevey.
Practical advice
- A Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to 3 people with 3 bags.
- For a group visiting several wineries, a Mercedes V-Class van with a chauffeur by the hour, from two hours, is a relaxed option.
- Child seats are available on request.
