Interactive wine tourism walk Luins-Vinzel-Bursins

When a walk in the vineyards becomes a treasure hunt

Walking in the vineyards is beautiful. Doing it while solving puzzles and taking on challenges is downright an adventure. This interactive wine tourism walk connects Luins, Vinzel, and Bursins, three villages in the La Côte AOC vineyard, and transforms it into a geolocated game course thanks to a free app. A clever way to keep children engaged throughout the journey, without them noticing the miles passing by.

What your children will discover

The route, about 5.5 kilometers long, winds through the La Côte vineyard, with its rows of vines, its villages, and its views of the lake and the Alps. At each stage, the app offers quizzes and photo challenges that invite participants to observe their surroundings: an architectural detail, a landscape, an element of the vineyard.

Children learn while having fun. The game gives purpose to the walk and sharpens their observation skills: they no longer rush through the villages, they explore them. It's a great entry point, playful and tangible, to introduce them to the La Côte wine region.

What to expect and the atmosphere on site

You download the app, choose the route, and let yourself be guided from step to step. At each point, there's a quiz or a photo challenge to tackle as a family. The atmosphere is that of a modern treasure hunt: you move forward, you search, you answer, you laugh at the failed photos.

The setting, however, is very real: terraced vineyards, quiet paths, charming villages. It's an outing that mixes the outdoors and the playful aspect of the screen, without keeping your nose in the phone: the app serves as a guide, but it is indeed the vineyards and landscapes that lead the way.

Before you go

Parent tips
