The Château des Bois: 400 years of tradition

by Alexandre Truffer, ©RomanDuVin.ch 2006

An imposing agricultural and forest estate spreads itself out some distance from the Cointrin international airport. The Château des Bois, owned by the same family for almost 400 years, stands at its center.

Among the hundreds of hectares that the property occupies, four are dedicated to vine cultivation. The château has produced its own wine for ten years and thus is one of the Republic's, and the Canton of Geneva's, rare wine-growing châteaux.
