Gruyere Countryside and Local Specialities

Sample Swiss chocolate, cheese and wine, explore a lovely village


Attractions and things to do - Gruyere Countryside and Local Specialities

Take a tour of Switzerland's gastronomic delights and the countryside that produces them.

Remember "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (book and film)? That's just what this experience will remind you of, as you see how chocolate is made and taste the product!

Also visit a cheese factory to try nutty Gruyere cheese and learn how it's prepared. See the black- and- white cows that produce the milk and hear the tinkling of cow bells across lush Alpine pastures.

Walk off the calories as you explore a peaceful medieval village and castle.

And there's still a treat in store. Sample locally made wines (or grape juice)at a delightful winery overlooking Lake Geneva. No worries about drinking and driving as your comfortable coach will return you safely to the starting point.
