About this tour
A three-hour guided walk through Chamonix's landmarks and scenic viewpoints, followed by a regional wine tasting paired with local charcuterie and cheese. Your guide points out the valleys and peaks worth photographing, then settles you down to taste several Savoyard wines while learning how the region's producers craft their distinctive bottles and dairy products. Summer brings an aperitif cocktail; winter swaps it for a warming Grolle.

What to expect
The walk starts in Chamonix town, where your guide navigates you to the best vantage points for photos and explains what you're seeing—the peaks, glaciers, and valleys. You'll spend time absorbing the landscape at a natural pace, stopping where light and views reward lingering. Afterwards, you'll settle indoors for a hands-on wine session. The guide walks you through aroma identification and flavour profiles of several Savoyard cuvées, pointing out how soil and altitude shape taste. Cheese and cured meat arrive in course with the wines, giving you real examples of local food craft. It's conversational, not formal—expect to share observations with fellow tasters.
