Le Domaine de Villarose

The Domaine de Villarose;

A hidden treasure between Lake Morat and Mont-Vully.

The Besse family has been cultivating it for three generations and still produces incredible wines with the same passion.

Come and taste them at our Whitsun open cellar.

Friday from 4pm to 7pm, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

I look forward to meeting you in our sales area.

A hundred and fifty hectare island clinging above Lake Murten, the Vully vineyard is certainly one of the smallest, but also one of the most charming wine estates in Switzerland.

 

Because of its privileged location between lakes Morat and Neuchâtel, Le Vully has always attracted many tourists with its mild climate.

The vineyard benefits from an ideal climate allowing slow, gradual ripening of the grapes thanks to Lake Morat.

For over a decade, we've followed the principles of viticulture raisonnée in harmony with nature.

Vinified and crafted with passion, Domaine de Villarose wines benefit from a family know-how.

Modern facilities allow each grape variety to reveal its character and personality.
