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.

About Zürich

Zürich, größte Stadt der Schweiz, am klaren See mit Alpenblick, mittelalterlicher Altstadt und dem Kabarett, in dem Dada geboren wurde.

Die Altstadt erstreckt sich an beiden Ufern der Limmat, mit engen Gassen, Zunfthäusern und Kirchtürmen. Die Zwillingstürme des Grossmünsters sind das Wahrzeichen der Stadt, das Fraumünster hat Glasfenster von Chagall, und die Kirche St. Peter besitzt eines der größten Zifferblätter Europas. Der Lindenhof bietet einen friedlichen Blick über die Dächer.
