Gastronomique Suisse- Lutry!

So after the end of the first week of classes and the first weekend in Geneva since arriving (well and having found places to live), Urvi, Alicia, and I ventured off for what we thought would be a day of hiking and wine tasting in Lutry near Lausanne, which is about a 35 minute train ride from Geneva. Not so much. Zut alors!

Figuring it would be obvious from the train station on how to get to the vineyards, there was actually no one at the Lutry train station. . It was also pouring down rain. No tourist information desk, no person to ask questions, nothing. We saw vineyards, but no actual sign pointing towards wineries. Luckily, however, we quickly started to walk down towards the water/town, where we quickly found a "Fete des Vendanges Lutry" (Lutry Wine Fesitval). So, what were three young women suppose to do? We quickly decided to eat and drink wine all day!

Our first stop was at a fondue stand, where we had our first Swiss fondue!! We asked for one serving for the three of us, which included more bread and cheese fondue than I could imagine!

First Fondue in Switzerland!

After fondue, we had sparkling wine from Switzerland... and the feast continued with Alicia having a nutelle crepe, Urvi having chestnuts, and a waffle for myself. We finished the day off with a cup of warm, hot tea. After a full day of gluttony and bellies filled, we ventured back home to Geneva. "Zut Alors" turned into a wonderful day, but we still hope to find the vineyards... which will have to wait for another day!
