Lavaux Express

We took a small train, the Lavaux Express which goes from Lutry to the top of Lavaux. It is a wine-growing region 30 minutes from Lausanne and the vines are blossoming....










From Lausanne the train went to Lutry. Then we walked down to Lutry-port. We found this tree with sharp fruits like a rambutan. And then wehad lunch at Lutry-port while waiting for the Lavaux Express train.










it is a very high climb to Grandvaux. absolutely beautiful.










Then we stopped in the middle of a very steep hill to sample the local wine. It was very nice.










You can remember here how steep the winery location is.










On the way back we went through the alleys to buy some petit fours at the local shop. (petit fours means "little treats" in french!!)
