Autumn is, after all, \"the season of appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chestnuts, mushrooms, apples, pumpkins... This is the season in Japan when many delicious foods are harvested and tables become more colorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


And in Switzerland, where I live, you can also enjoy the unique taste of this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Wine in Switzerland? Actually, it's very close to home.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recently helped a friend of mine harvest grapes called \"Vendanges\" at his vineyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Wine in Switzerland? Some people may be surprised to learn that wine is actually very popular in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially along Lake Geneva. Lavaux Region<\/strong> The vineyards of the \"Vineyards of the Alps\" are registered as a World Heritage site, and the view of the lake and the Alps in the background is truly spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendanges proceeding by hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because the vineyards in Switzerland are spread out on slopes, harvesting is basically all done by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each cluster is carefully picked and placed in a yellow or orange case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the cases are full, the grapes are carried on backpacks called \"grape backpacks,\" which carry the heavy grapes on their backs to the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a lot of hard work, but when everyone pulls together, it strangely turns into a pleasant memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste the Chasselas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time, my friend is growing a grape for white wine, a typical Swiss grape. Chasselas<\/strong>The following is a list of the most common problems with the \"C\" in the \"C\" column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Picking it up while harvesting, you will find a fresh and refreshing sweetness that will fill your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its delicate flavor is perfect for the Swiss table when made into wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss wine is a precious commodity that is mostly consumed domestically due to its small production. It is rarely seen outside of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autumn Time to Celebrate the Harvest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the Vendanges are over, the various regions go into celebration mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fireworks go off, music blares, and people toast with a glass of local wine in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This time of sharing the bounty of the earth was truly a symbolic moment of the \"harvest season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary - Fall is a season of food and connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf47 Autumn is not only a time to \"eat,\" but also a time to feel deeply connected to nature and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


If you have a chance to visit Switzerland, be sure to stroll through the vineyards and enjoy the local Swiss wines that can only be tasted locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
