The area is located in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland and borders Lake Geneva for a length of thirty kilometres between Lausanne and Vevey. The Chasselas is mainly grown in the area. The area covers 898 hectares, of which 574 are planted with grapes. There are 14 municipalities within the World Heritage: Lutry, Villette, Grandvaux, Cully, Riex, Epesses, Puidoux, Chexbres, Rivaz, Saint-Saphorin, Chardonne, Corseaux, Corsier-sur-Vevey and Jongny.

Beautiful section in the Lavaux vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is never steep and you get great views on Lake Geneva. One of the most popular climbs amongst local cyclists, and you will understand why when your ride it
