ENTERTAINING VISIT
The museum positions itself as a reference for vine and wine cultivation. It deals with the themes of landscape, biodiversity, taste education, ecology, economy and art, including the art of celebration, winegrowers and harvesting.
The Château d'Aigle is at the heart of vineyards and a thousand-year-old wine-growing tradition in which the chasselas, which produces a dry white wine, occupies a central place. This grape variety is cultivated in the Rhône Valley and the Lake Geneva region (canton of Vaud), particularly in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Exhibitions
GEA AUGSBOURG
To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Géa Augsbourg, an eminent illustrator of the Pays de Vaud, the Château d'Aigle is honoured to be exhibiting a fine collection of his works, patiently assembled over the years by visual artist Claude Augsburger. The exhibition reveals a rich and varied collection of drawings, paintings and numerous personal documents.
Géa Augsbourg, a friend and collaborator of such luminaries as Charles-Albert Cingria, Paul Budry, Jacques Audiberti, Marc Chagall and Jean Villard Gilles, left his mark on the art world with his abundant and varied work. A draughtsman, painter, ceramist and journalist, he has become a key figure in the art world thanks to the diversity of his creations.
The exhibition also highlights his deep connection with the vine, notably through the wine labels he designed, as well as the presentation of the portfolio ‘La terre vaudoise et ses vignes’, accompanied by a text by Charles-François Landry. As a counterpoint, artist-collector Augsburger is presenting a series of his own paintings.
