We drive along Lake Thun to Spiez, where vineyards have grown below an 11th-century castle since medieval times. You will taste 4 local Swiss wines, each paired with regional cheeses, bakery bread, and Bernese specialties. Your local guide will share the stories behind every bottle while the golden hour makes the castle and Alps glow. Max 8 guests. No crowds, no script. For travelers who want an authentic afternoon that feels nothing like a tour.
