Journey to Swiss lands: Cure d’Attalens

Voyage en terres helvétiques : Cure d'Attalens

La Cure d'Attalens has a very long tradition of vine growing. Its eventful and rich history has been closely linked to that of Obrist for over a century, since it was the first renowned wine estate acquired by the Vevey house in 1896.

The good plans of

Corinne Buttex

Corinne Buttet is a winegrower-tâcheronne, a term that dates back to the construction of Lavaux in the 12th century and which referred to people paid by the task for the maintenance of the vines. Yesterday and still today, the quality of the grapes depends on these essential people! She took over the vines of La Cure in 2011 with three other winegrowers-tâcherons and became, in 2019, the first woman to be crowned in the history of the Fête des Vignerons in Vevey!

Did you know?

The Lavaux vineyard terraces are listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a “living cultural landscape”, patiently sculpted since the 12th century!


The Fête des Vignerons is also listed by UNESCO. Through a total spectacle, it pays tribute to the wine world and its traditions. It has been organized by the Confrérie des Vignerons de Vevey since 1797 and takes place approximately once per generation – the last edition took place in 2019!


Some ideas for food and wine pairings

Galotta is a perfect wine to enjoy with autumn dishes, such as game, duck, or a stale beef entrecôte on the bone.

Viognier is one of the most delicious, to try with a yellow fruit tart, or why not, with raisinée, which Corinne Butter loves!

The essential pairing between Chasselas de la Cure d'Attalens and Gruyère is no longer in doubt. To be enjoyed young on young, or old on old. Chasselas, like Gruyère, changes radically with the time it matures in the cellar!
