A UNESCO-listed staircase of vine terraces dropping to Lake Geneva, with the Alps posing on the far shore — the Romans planted here, and the view has only improved. Walk the terrace path between Lutry and Saint-Saphorin, pausing at tiny caveaux where winegrowers pour Chasselas you'll struggle to find outside Switzerland. Trains run along the shore, so nobody has to drive. Go at golden hour on a September evening and try to leave; you won't manage it.
