Lying in molasse terrain, the Cheyres wine estate is the only one to be sited on the southern flank of Lake Neuchâtel; its wines are particularly fruity and characteristic of their terroir.

The educational trail leads the walker to discover the work involved in husbanding vineyards through the seasons, their history and varietals, while offering stunning views of the lake and the Jura. Just under two hours in length, the trail offers a picnicking and barbecuing vantage point that overlooks the estate and the village.
