Geneva Harvest Festival at various locations

Event: Geneva Harvest Festival at various locations
Date: Throughout September

The rolling countryside surrounding Geneva is home to a great number of wineries, producing sumptuous reds and whites for consumption around the world.

Every year, producers based in the region come together in the municipality of Russin for the Geneva Harvest Festival, which celebrates the end of the grape harvest in September and creates a great opportunity for wine lovers to sample both new varieties and established classics.

According to What's on When, wine will not be the only offering at the celebrations, with a wide range of local produce - such as cheese and fish - provided to accompany the beverages.

And visitors will be able to enjoy a lot more besides getting the chance to hone their wine-tasting skills at the event, as it is set to be accompanied by concerts, parades and street entertainment that lasts long into the night.

Guests staying at luxury Geneva hotel the Hotel d'Angleterre might wish to make the trip out to Russin to take in the sights, sounds and - most importantly - tastes of the festival.

Those who opt for the Luxury Weekend Break package will be able to enjoy a complimentary glass of Champagne on their arrival and, after returning from a day at the festival, sit down to eat a four-course dinner in the hotel's Windows Restaurant.
