Swiss women winemakers: Les artisanes de la vigne et du vin, a busy Arvinis stand
Lake Geneva region, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – People in the region turned out by the thousands for several events 25-26 April weekend, undoubtedly thanks in part to spring putting in an appearance. Lake Morat (Murtensee) hosted its annual Slowup, one of series in Switzerland throughout the year. The weather was fine, the scenergy splendid, and 55,000 people turned out for this mass non-motorized movers’ day. Arvinis closed with some 19,000 visitors registered a slight dip, 5 percent, in attendance but wine producers told Arvinis organizers (and GenevaLunch) that sales were up. The Salon du Livre in Geneva at Palexpo closed its doors with good news about readers: 105,000 came to the event, 22-26 April, a 7 percent increase in attendance.
