Divinum wine fair, Morges

This is Morges’s new spring wine fair, following the move by Arvinis to Montreux. Divinum features 126 wineries, a strong showing for a first-ever event – an indication of the support provided by the city of Morges and regional wineries for this major five-day opener for the 2017 wine-tasting season in western Switzerland.

Guest of honour is Sardinia, featuring its deep, rich red Cannonau wines and, for whites, notably Nuragus. Several Swiss wine regions, notably Valais, plus wineries from France and Italy, are taking part. A number of special events are featured; advance registration recommended for these.

The fair will cover 3,000 m2. Note that you can reach it easily with public transport: 10 minutes on foot from the Morges train station, with shuttle bus service. Parking is also available.
