It's no secret that Switzerland, at the heart of Europe, boasts the world’s best cheese and chocolate. In the midst of our scenic land, the medieval town of Gruyères stands proud as the real homeland of Swiss cheese and chocolate. Join AlpExcursion on a private culinary adventure to uncover the secrets of Switzerland's finest products. Our friendly driver-guides will greet you at your hotel lobby and escort you to this historic treasure of Switzerland. The charming town of Gruyères has preserved its medieval heritage. Gruyères is considered one of the top places in Switzerland for a special day trip with family, friends, or loved ones. Here, you'll find the renowned cheese and chocolate factories, La Maison du Gruyère and La Maison Cailler. At La Maison du Gruyère, you’ll learn the secrets of locally made cheese. Enjoy three deliciously aged pieces of cheese as a welcome gift. You’ll also have the chance to observe cheesemakers at work. Another fascinating site is Gruyères Castle (Chateau de Gruyères), dating back to the 13th century and standing proudly in the town's heart. The pedestrian zone offers a gentle stroll through cobblestone streets and past historic fountains, taking you back in time. Maison Cailler, the Swiss chocolate factory, provides an informative journey through the history of Swiss chocolate. You’ll touch and witness the raw materials, and at the end, indulge in unlimited chocolate samples. Delight in the most elegant sweet aromas. Both children and adults will love creating their own chocolate or participating in the engaging workshops. No visit is complete without savoring Swiss cuisine’s main dish—Fondue. Relax in a chalet-style restaurant, surrounded by serene rural landscapes. At the end of your day, your driver-guide will return you to your hotel. Switzerland's delicate treasures of cheese and chocolate await. AlpExcursion.com is here to offer you this extraordinary experience. |
