Destination terroir

Visit to the Morand farm

Destination terroir offers young and old a special visit to the Morand Farm.
This is an opportunity to discover the agricultural world and to tame some animals. 

Fabienne, a passionate farmer, welcomes you and introduces you to her various companions such as ponies, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, cows and guinea pigs.

At the end of the visit, leave with a surprise from the farm. 
   

Discovery breaks are our suggestions for your next company outings. Whether you're planning a company outing, a family outing or an outing with your association, we'll help you to tailor them to your wishes and budget. 

Explore the richness and diversity of the West Vaud region during a moment of sharing and discovery with the men and women who perpetuate their know-how and sublimate local products.

The availability of craftsmen can vary according to harvest or season, and these breaks can also be combined.
 

Milk or cheese break

Near you, craftsmen produce Gruyère PDO. Take a break from nature, get a breath of fresh air and discover the process of making our cheese or meet the producers and their cows to whom we owe this delicious cheese. Take the opportunity to talk to local producers about the evolution of their profession, the challenges facing agriculture and climate change.
 

A nut break from here

Start the exploration with a guided walk through a walnut orchard of the Dicifood company, created by passionate craftsmen who have taken up the challenge of diversifying the production of quality local products. Continue this exploration with a visit to the Maison de la noix at the Moulin de Sévery with a demonstration of the nutcracker.
 
 

Flower break (April to June)

It's springtime and you'll be able to recharge your batteries on a trip through the region's crops. Accompanied by an agronomist, an expert on plants and crops, you will discover their particularities as well as their uses for human food or cattle feed.
 
 

Break in the cowshed 

Discover what the farmers of the region produce, and how their cattle live. These farmers will explain and show you how they care for their animals while respecting the requirements of each individual.  

Grape break

A wine tourism guide will take visitors on a tour of the vineyards and villages. They will be told about the history of the area, the monks who cleared it in the Middle Ages and the families who have continued the tradition to this day.
Visitors will also be given information about the day and year of work in the vineyard, as well as pruning techniques and the grape varieties found in the region.
The activity would not be complete without a wine tasting offered by the Maison des Vins de La Côte in Mont-sur-Rolle!
 

Break on the mountain pasture (mid-May to mid-September)

During an escapade, go and meet an alpine farmer. During a walk outside of time and stress, you will discover another universe: the mountain pasture. With passion, the host explains how each year, depending on the weather conditions, he organises the management of the pastures and the livestock, how he manages his water needs, whether for the growth of the grass or for the livestock.
 

Destination Terroir is the promotional part of a Regional Agricultural Development Project run by more than 280 farming families and supported by the Confederation, the canton and the regions concerned. 

This project is made up of 4 distinct parts:

• La Maison des Vins de La Côte in Mont-sur-Rolle
• La Fromagerie de l'Etraz in Senarclens
• Abattoir du CARRE in Aubonne
• Harmonie d'alpages (improving the welcome in several mountain chalets in the Vaud Jura).

The aim of these facilities is to showcase a dynamic agricultural region and enable you to discover ‘the best of Western Vaud’.
