Binningerstrasse

This tasting experience introduces two of Switzerland’s most famous culinary traditions. Swiss cheese is produced using high-quality milk from cows grazing on Alpine pastures, creating a wide range of flavors from mild to mature. Chocolate is another national specialty, with Switzerland known for its innovation and craftsmanship since the development of milk chocolate in the 19th century. During the tasting, you will sample selected regional cheeses and artisan chocolates while learning how ingredients, origin, and production methods influence flavor. Together, these specialties reflect Switzerland’s strong tradition of quality, craftsmanship, and connection to its landscape.

A lot of information, the length maybe a bit too long. Nice spots that they showed us and a lot that we could taste.
