Yvorne stands out as the wine producer, in the Chablais region spanning 160 hectares and ranking among the wine communities in Vaud canton. What sets Yvorne apart is its soil composition. Back on March 4 1584 a rockslide descended from Tour d’Aï narrowly avoiding the village. The aftermath left debris that now defines the soil quality. This unique soil imparts a character to the Chasselas grapes grown here highly esteemed, across Switzerland.

The magnificent Château Maison Blanche stands proudly in the surroundings of Yvorne. Its brilliant exterior glistens, like a gem among the vineyards that have encircled it for over four centuries. The terraced vineyards of Château Maison Blanche span 7.7 hectares. Now host an array of grape varieties, including Chasselas, Savagnin Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Gamaret, Garanoir, Diolinoir and Cabernet Franc.
Château Maison Blanche represents the heart of the Yvorne vineyards not for its beauty but also, for its storied past and the unique charm it radiates.
