Festival weekend planner
Arvinis — Swiss Wine Fair — a 3-day weekend in Geneva
16–19 April 2026. Morges, Switzerland.
The weekend, day by day
- Day 1
Arrive in Morges
Land at Geneva Airport (GVA), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.
- Day 2
Arvinis — Swiss Wine Fair
Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Seek out the Valais producers pouring Petite Arvine and Humagne Rouge—these Alpine whites and reds rarely export and represent Switzerland's most distinctive terroir. Time your visit mid-morning to access the natural wine section before crowds arrive and bottles are depleted.
- Day 3
Wine country day in Geneva
Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
