Wondering what's going on in and around Lausanne? Check out our picks for this week:
- Atelier Apérographique — Wednesday
A creative and convivial workshop by Lausanne à Table where participants gather at a local artisan’s space to draw, sketch, and capture the atmosphere of an apéro while tasting culinary creations. Guided by the collective Les Ogres, the experience blends food, illustration, and storytelling, inviting guests to “draw what they taste” and engage with the setting in a playful, sensory way. The session is as much about observation and creativity as it is about sharing a relaxed apéritif in good company. - Le Musée des Gloutons — Wednesday
Discover the secrets of Studio Ghibli! MUDAC takes children on a journey into the rich and vibrant world of Isao Takahata, master of animation and co-founder of Studio Ghibli. For 8–12-year-olds. Designed as a sensory and educational journey, it blends design, storytelling, and food into a relaxed and curious midweek experience. - CreativeMornings Lausanne on the theme Curate — Friday
The Lausanne chapter of CreativeMornings continues its monthly breakfast talk series, bringing together the local creative community for an inspiring start to the day. Guest speaker and director of Photo Elysée Nathalie Herschdorfer curates exhibitions that move across themes and time to reveal the full spectrum of photography – as art, as document, and as a powerful way of seeing. - Fête des Vigneronnes — Thursday to Saturday
The Fête des Vigneronnes returns to Place de Grancy for three evenings celebrating Switzerland’s women winemakers. Each night features a rotating selection of vigneronnes pouring wines directly, paired with music, food, and a relaxed open-air atmosphere. The Saturday edition closes with a festive urban “tavolata,” bringing together wine, food, and community at long shared tables. - Grand Marché des Terroirs Alpins — Saturday & Sunday (Bruson)
Set in the village of Bruson, the Grand Marché des Terroirs Alpins is a large open-air celebration of Alpine food culture, featuring dozens of local producers showcasing cheese, charcuterie, herbs, baked goods, wines, and mountain specialties. Alongside tastings and market stalls, visitors can enjoy workshops, family activities, live music, and culinary experiences spread across the village, making it a full weekend dedicated to Alpine terroir and gastronomy. - Veggie Week — All Month Long
Veggie Week returns with a citywide celebration of plant-based cooking, bringing together restaurants across Lausanne and beyond for a week of creative vegetarian and vegan menus. Participating venues showcase seasonal ingredients, inventive dishes, and sustainable approaches to dining, making it an easy excuse to try somewhere new or rethink familiar favourites. Whether you’re fully vegetarian or simply curious, it’s a great opportunity to explore Lausanne’s growing food scene through fresh, flavour-packed menus.
