When music, wine and gastronomy come together.
Since 2020, Culinary Concerts have been inviting epicureans and music lovers to enjoy extraordinary evenings where music, fine cuisine, and exceptional wines come together in the stunning setting of the Vaud Riviera and the Lavaux, a land of flavors and inspiration.
Overlooking Lake Geneva, Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts over 1,000 years of winemaking tradition, spanning terraced vineyards and hilltop villages. A place steeped in musical history, it has been a refuge for Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Stravinsky, and many other musical and artistic geniuses.
Produced and presented by IamBacchus founder John Axelrod, these Culinary Concerts pay tribute to local products and talents and celebrate cultural patrimony in a unique and refined atmosphere.
The 2025 edition will take place at the Grande Salle del Castillo in Vevey on Sunday, September 7. This evening is organized in partnership with La Maison Obrist, the Restaurant Á la Demi-Lune, and with the Société de Développement de Chardonne-Mt-Pèlerin as charitable partner.
