Activities for children in Vinzel
Vinzel holds a special place in the hearts of the Vaudois: it is the village of malakoff, that cheese fritter that people come from far and wide to taste. But between Luins and Bursins, this small winegrower's village can also be explored on foot, in a surprisingly playful way.
An interactive walk indeed guides families through the vineyard, with puzzles and discoveries along the way — enough to engage children with the landscape that unfolds.
Here is our selection of activities for children in Vinzel.

Why choose Vinzel for a family outing?
The interactive wine tourism walk between Luins, Vinzel, and Bursins reinvents the stroll through the vineyards: smartphone in hand, young and old follow a route marked by questions and anecdotes about the terroir, the seasons of the vine, and village life. Children play, parents learn — or the other way around — and the walk goes by effortlessly.
The scenery does the rest: rows of vines stretching as far as the eye can see, stone walls, village steeples, and Lake Geneva sparkling below. On beautiful days, the late afternoon light is simply magical.
And for a tasty touch, it's impossible to leave Vinzel without mentioning the malakoff: the local specialty perfectly concludes a family outing — the children unanimously approve. Terroir, play, and indulgence: Vinzel sums up La Côte in three pleasures.
