In 2010, the Association for the Promotion of Chasselas, based in Aigle, was created to promote, defend, and enhance this elegant grape variety in Switzerland and in the world, which expresses like no other the terroir on which it grows. Since 2012 the association has been organizing an international tasting competition: the “Mondial du Chasselas” (called Fendant in Valais and Gutedel in Germany).

The Vaudois Wines are enjoying an exceptional setting during the Montreux Jazz Festival, from July 1st to 16th. Accessible to all, free of charge and in the open air, this venue serves a selection of eight Vaudois wines.

That women have been gaining space in viticulture is not new. Both in the production of grapes and elaboration of wines, women are gaining spaces in a territory historically occupied by a male majority. In this context -and in line with the objectives of the Strategic Wine Plan 2030 of the Argentine Wine Corporation (COVIAR)- the project ‘Women in the Vineyard’ was born. It is run by the Small Producers unit in collaboration with the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA). This initiative promotes the horizontal integration of producers with a gender perspective.
