Lutry
A medieval lakeside town east of Lausanne with cobbled lanes, a church and a harbor. It is the western gateway to the Lavaux vineyards.
Lutry is about 5 km from Lausanne's city center and is a well-preserved medieval lakeside town. It has the Church of Saint-Martin, begun in the 11th century, a castle and cobbled lanes, and boats can be caught from the lakeside pier. Behind the town lies the western end of the Lavaux vineyard terraces, and from here you can follow the vineyard trail east to Cully. Every year at the end of September the town holds a grape harvest festival with parades and wine tasting. Take a train or bus 9, about 15 minutes.
