Geneva Open Cellar

Yesterday I enjoyed a yearly Swiss tradition of Open Cellar. This event is when all of the local wineries open their cellars and give out free tastings. The are over 95 wineries outside of Geneva. Not all are open their cellars but yesterday I sampled ten different wineries whites, reds and champagnes. It was great fun and despite the slight drizzle Swiss wine country is stunning.

While wandering around I ended up joining a large group of people from Columbia, the UK, Australia, Moldova and  France. It was a great group of other students and interns. Meeting people from all over the world and having first class conversation with relative strangers was something I dearly missed from traveling.

I have a short work week this week and then i'm off on a train journey around Switzerland. I am planning on seeing Zurich, Bern and, most exciting LICHTENSTEIN!!
