For an authentic taste of viticultural life look no further than this country inn, 8km north of Nyon in the heart of the La Côte vineyards. Cosy and traditional, it is a real ‘Sunday lunch’ address. Eight hotel rooms peep onto the village square or the lake and Alps beyond, while downstairs in the kitchen simple cuisine is lovingly prepared from local produce.
Chicken and gigot d’agneau (leg of lamb) roasts for hours on a spit inside – a house speciality since 1964 – while hungry diners on the shady terrace outside admire the vegetable patch and vines over a glass of chilled wine. Advance reservations essential.
