A grape harvest festival on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel, one of Switzerland's most significant wine-producing regions.
The shores of Lake Neuchâtel have been producing wine for centuries, and this harvest festival — one of the largest of its kind in Switzerland — celebrates the grape harvest with parades, fireworks and tastings across the lakeside city.
Elaborate flower-covered parade floats are a particular festival tradition, giving the event a genuinely festive, almost carnival-like atmosphere alongside its more straightforward wine-tasting elements.
