Morges sits on the La Côte vineyard slope between Geneva and Lausanne, and its harvest festival fills the lakeside promenade with growers' stands pouring Chasselas — the Swiss white that accounts for most of Vaud's production and travels almost nowhere, since the Swiss drink essentially all of it.
No attendance figure is published.
It is anchored to the last weekend of September, which is when the Vaud harvest begins rather than ends; the Lavaux villages up the lake hold their own in October.
Morges is twelve minutes from Lausanne by train along the shore, with the Savoy Alps across the water, and the festival is free, outdoors and comfortably sized — the opposite proposition to the Fête des Vignerons in Vevey, forty minutes away and twenty years apart.
PlanningAnchored to the last weekend of September, at the start of the Vaud harvest.
