My daughter did a school report on Audrey Hepburn and really wanted to see her grave while we were in Morges. I have to admit, it was neat to see. It's a beautiful little area. Such a cute and peaceful town.

Musee de la Confrerie des Vignerons

Reviewed By RichmondDolphin - London, United Kingdom

We visited by this small museum tucked away in a courtyard close to the lake. Fantastic - we were very impressed by history of the Festival of the Vignerons which is only held 5 times a century. Not generally a huge fan of museums but this was simple and not too big. Free admission and great service from the lady at reception.
