The Obrist house has owned this exceptional vineyard since 1896. On the heights of Vevey, the vines, leaning against the south-facing hillsides in the heart of the Chardonne production site, overlook Lake Geneva. The estate is subject to visits by the Confrérie des Vignerons de Vevey, which has repeatedly awarded winegrowers working this favorite land with gravelly and semi-limestone soils.

Cure d’Attalens

La Cure d'Attalens has a very long tradition of vine cultivation. Its eventful and rich history has been closely linked to that of Obrist for more than a century, since it was the first renowned wine estate acquired by the Vevey house in 1896. The terraced vines are pampered by winegrowers - let’s work – and winemaker-task! – distinguished at the Fête des Vignerons.
