Lutry
The castle wine press

The old wine press of the castle was built in 1874 and it carried out its last commercial pressing in 1967. It was in 1979 that a Lutry resident wished to restart this unused press. The Municipality authorised him, on condition that he'd provide... ten bottles of the year's pressings! The Wine Press Society was born and since then, it has held the "Fin Naze" cellar under the Council Chamber during each harvest festival. (In French, "Fin Naze" has two meanings: "Good Nose" and... "Totally Drunk")
