A few kilometres from the heart of Geneva, Dardagny is an enchanting corner where nature is intertwined with agricultural and wine-making tradition. Here, life flows peacefully between vineyards and fields, in a preserved environment that invites you to relax and discover the treasures of the region.

The commune comprises the villages of Dardagny and La Plaine, as well as the hamlets of Essertines and Malval, each with its own charm. This village has its roots in the distant past: traces of settlements date back to the 1st century B.C., and archaeological finds, such as a Neolithic axe and Gallo-Roman remains, testify to the long history of the place. Perched on a promontory in the verdant Allondon valley, Dardagny is a village that lives in tune with the rhythm of the seasons. Its elegant winegrowers’ houses surround the imposing castle, the largest in the canton, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Here and there, gushing fountains and colourful signs add a touch of liveliness. Once a hub of stately and artistic activity, Dardagny has welcomed illustrious personalities such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Camille Corot. This cultural heritage is intertwined with the rural character of the village, which has managed to keep its charm intact. It is no coincidence that in 1978, Dardagny received the prestigious Wakker Prize for the exemplary protection of its architectural heritage. A not-to-be-missed experience is the Dardagny Wine Trail, a route that takes visitors past rows of vines, the pride of the Geneva region. Today, between the charm of the countryside and its proximity to the French border, Dardagny invites its visitors to lose themselves in its streets, enjoy a glass of local wine and immerse themselves in a unique and timeless atmosphere.
