Expovina 2022 is Over! Next edition 2nd – 16th November 2023
Attention all wine lovers! Early November is always a special time for wine in Zurich. It’s when the wine ships dock at Bürkliplatz in Zurich for the annual Autumn Expovina wine event. Yes, this really is wine on the water – a true floating wine experience. It’s great fun and there are some amazing wines to taste as well. So whether you go on your own, with a friend or a whole group you’re bound to have a rewarding time.
The Boats in Bürkliplatz
The stationary ships are moored in Bürkliplatz Zurich and for the duration of the festival they are are transformed into wine boats. You can walk from one boat to another with the opportunity to taste a total of over 4,000 wines from around 170 stands in a unique location right on the lake. It’s a fabulous place to meet up with friends for a great evening or day out.
Restaurants
There are also restaurants on board in case you’re feeling peckish.
Entrance Tickets
Tickets cost CHF 33 and entrance is from age 16 upwards (although for the restaurant you need to be 18 or over).
Opening Hours
The boats are open Monday – Saturday from 1.30pm – 9pm, on Sunday from 1.30pm to 7pm. Please note the cash desk closes half an hour before the end.
