Everything here exudes warmth, wood, memory&#8230; and above all, wine. At the helm is Laurent Vialette. Trained as a sommelier, president of the Grand Jury International du Vin and owner of two estates in the Chablais and Jura regions, he has turned this place into a showcase for wine and cigars. In the collector&#8217;s cellar, vintage bottles follow one another, perfectly aligned, some almost unreal: an 1871 Yquem slumbers in the basement, like a reminder that time can be a precious ally. Private tastings, exclusive dinners around great vintages&#8230; here, every experience aims to approach wine as one approaches history, with respect, exacting standards and a touch of emotion. A state of mind shaped by Laurent Vialette&#8217;s singular career path, from law in Bordeaux to the creation of Royal Glass, before settling in Geneva. On a daily basis, Violaine and Florine run the place like an orchestra, with finesse and precision, accompanying the curious as well as the well-informed connoisseur. A new refuge for lovers of great wines, to be discovered without delay.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the heart of the Banques district, the Cave des Banques unveils Laurent Vialette&#8217;s cutting-edge universe: rare bottles, Casa Habano licensing, exclusive dinners and a team that cultivates the art of tasting with precision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"slim_seo":{"title":"Laurent Vialette opens the Cave des Banques | Restaurant Geneva | Edouard Amoiel","description":"In the heart of the Banques district, the Cave des Banques unveils Laurent Vialette's cutting-edge universe: rare bottles, Casa Habano licensing, exclusive dinn"},"_slim_seo_primary_term_category":0,"_slim_seo_primary_term_post_tag":0,"_slim_seo_primary_term_restaurants-par-lieux":0,"_slim_seo_primary_term_style-de-restaurant":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[351],"tags":[],"restaurants-par-lieux":[353],"style-de-restaurant":[],"class_list":["post-18265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-news","restaurants-par-lieux-geneva"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27116,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18265\/revisions\/27116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18265"},{"taxonomy":"restaurants-par-lieux","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/restaurants-par-lieux?post=18265"},{"taxonomy":"style-de-restaurant","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/style-de-restaurant?post=18265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
