Introduction :
Staying in Interlaken and wondering where the locals go when they want to escape the crowds? Just a 15-minute train ride away lies Spiez, home to some of the most stunning alpine vineyards in Switzerland. If you like turquoise water, medieval castles, and crisp white wine, this is your next stop.
Why Spiez Vineyard is a "Must-Visit"
While everyone is lining up for the Jungfraujoch, the smart travelers are walking through the rows of Riesling-Sylvaner overlooking Lake Thun. The Spiez vineyard isn't just about the wine; it's about the view. Imagine a castle, a deep blue lake, and snow-capped peaks all in one frame.
Pro Tip: The light here at 4:00 PM is a photographer’s dream.
Don't Just Drink Wine—Experience It
At the hostel, we believe the best way to see Switzerland is through the eyes of someone who lives here. That’s why we’ve partnered with Pierre from Swiss Local Adventures.
He doesn't just take you to a shop; he takes you on a Wine Tour with a Vineyard Walk. It’s the perfect mix of hiking (easy trails, don't worry!) and tasting. You get to try authentic Swiss cheese and local wines right where they are produced.
