Win tickets to the gardens of the Château de Vullierens

The lovely gardens of the Château de Vullierens will be open to the public for the last time this year over two consecutive weekends: the 28th and 30th September and the 5th - 7th October, from 10:00 - 16:00.

There are various events planned over these two weekends in the grounds of the château: Alphorn playing, a macro photography exhibition of Irises and Rhododendrons by photographer Paola Paroli, a botanical art exhibition by Gusta van Dobbenburgh  There will be a chance to buy pumpkins from the gardens and taste some wine in the boutique, there will also be a food truck in the courtyard of the grounds. If you are there at 15:00, listen to and see the performance of the "Bing Bang" sculpture by Etienne Krähenbühl.

Dogs are welcome in the grounds (on a lead).

The paths are more or less flat and accessible for wheelchairs, however, please note some of the paths are gravel based so help with pushing a wheelchair will probably be required in places. Click here for the full programme.
