Geneva Nightlife Tips by Tripack Top 5 Page for this destination

Qu'importe...: Pour une nuit d'ivresse...

Qu'importe le flacon pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse!

An excellent and cosy wine bar in the center of the relaxing Carouge area. A fine wine selection and some tapas is waiting for your papillae: I would recommend and taste the Renaissance to discover a fruitly and sunny nectar from the Domaine Viret (Côtes du Rhône, South East of France). The powerful and exquisite Grenache will promise you a cheerful tasting... A consommer avec modération toutefois ;-)

Cheers!

Address: Rue Ancienne 1, 1227 Carouge

Directions: For a safe trip (especially for the return;-) take the tramways 12 or 13 and stop @ Marché or Ancienne.
