Rosé by the Lake

The rosé festival on Lake Zurich, every May on the Mythenquai

Note: Rosé by the Lake 2026 took place on 28 May and is over, ticket sales have ended. This page explains the annual festival so you don't miss the next edition.

Rosé by the Lake is the summery rosé festival on Lake Zurich: once a year the Samigo on Mythenquai turns into an open-air tasting right by the water. Various wine merchants like Bindella and Vinothek Brancaia pour their rosé selections. A wide choice of rosés and champagnes à discretion, plus food, a DJ and sunset over the lake. Apéro mood rather than tasting-room seriousness, just right for a mild May evening.

What makes Rosé by the Lake special

Rosé à discretion

You pay entry once and then taste as much as you like at the wine stands. A broad selection of rosés and champagnes from across Provence, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, presented by merchants like Bindella and Brancaia.

Right by the water

The Samigo sits directly on the Mythenquai with a view over Lake Zurich. Rosé in your glass, sunset over the water, summer hardly gets better in Zurich.

Food and DJ

Food stalls provide the base, a DJ the mood. The whole thing runs until midnight, so not just a quick apéro.

Summer apéro rather than a fair

No stiff tasting hall, but a relaxed open-air party. If you like rosé and mild evenings, this is the place.
