Learn from a sommelier and master cheese ager to cherish the mild and strong flavors of young and aged Basel’s cheese. Try the country's pride called Gruyère AOP cheese, including other famous cheeses in Switzerland. By the end of the cheese tasting, you will admire the natural taste of a cheese free from preservatives, food colorings, and flavor enhancers.

In this tour, you’ll be blown away by the historical significance of the development of the Swiss chocolate industry and understand how Switzerland was able to gain a spot on the list of the best cholates in the world. To fully appreciate the detailed process of chocolate making, taste some mouthwatering truffles, hand-scooped dark chocolate, or chocolate almonds.

For your final stop, you will be guided to a local bakery to taste a traditional Swiss spice biscuit. You’ll fall in love with the distinct heavenly flavor and texture of this 17th-century pastry with recipes that have been passed from generation to generation via oral or handwritten communication.
