#dwcc14 Wot a Vaud-tastic day!

Scenes from Lavaux – a World Heritage site

Yesterday we took the post-DWCC 2014 (Digital Wine Communications Conference) to the Vaud visiting Lavaux (Saint-Saphorin), Dézaly and Féchy. The weather was fabulous just as it has been for our entire six-day stay around Lake Geneva.

Here are just a few of the photos I took – it was difficult to stop!

Château de Glérolles where we tasted wines from eight producers

and had a very enjoyable, light lunch
