Five Reasons to make a date at DiVINes this weekend!
Just before the winter cold really sets in, the women of Swiss wine have joined forces to heat up the Lac Léman region. DiVINes is a first-of-its-kind celebration of wine made by the astute hands of local female vignerons. Contrary to belief, there is a difference between the sexes when crafting wine and here’s five other reasons to visit the fair on November 6.
1. Women aplenty!
More than 30 women winemakers from all six Swiss wine regions will be descending on the Grand Chateau in Rolle. Switzerland is home to a diverse array of women vignerons and the fair really gets you up close (with glass in hand) to the best of them. Sample deep and chocolatey Merlot from Ticino, vivacious Petite Arvine from Valais and stellar blanc de noirs sparkling wine from Zurich, to name a few. Truly a national event.
2. Lip-smacking Learning
Wine-tasting is not a skill left only to us sommeliers. It is something everyone can do. And gives us reason to make loud slurping noises in restaurants. If you’re keen to train your palate, wine educator Marie Linder, is offering a wine-tasting workshop at 11h00. Taste and discuss four wines together, learn how to “read the glass” and select great wines. Registrations essential.
3. Curvaceous Cuvée
As part of the celebrations, the ladies of wine have stamped their signatures on two special edition cuvees. Available to taste is the Chasselas 2020. For the pink in all of us, there’s the DiVINes rosé Oeil de Perdrix 2020, made from 100% Pinot Noir. Both selections can be purchased on site for the special price of 90.- CHF for 6 bottles.
4. Fill Her Up
Sampling all these womanly wines is hard work. So, to help sustain the energy, take advantage of the many eateries in Rolle. Each ticket to the fair provides a 5.- CHF discount to a “No Frills” Plat du Jour dish from six different eateries in the town. Favourites, such as Blackbird House and Vesuvio and more are waiting to fill your belly.
5. The Art of Wine
Soak up the wine and the sights across all of Rolle. On Grand-Rue, 15 outlets have decorated their shop windows to revel in all things “wine and women”. From the local coiffure to the épicerie and bike shop, all are in on the act. The top display will be awarded “Window of the Year” at 17h00. Additionally, a free exhibition by local artist Sylvie Moreillon on a “grapevine” theme is on display at the Chateau throughout the day.
Drink up the stories, sights and sounds of this unique fair of femme! Discover the difference and have fun at the same time. Full info and program here: https://www.divines.ch/
