Lavaux team experience proposal

Unitek

Your project

You’re planning a day in Lavaux for your team — something that combines time outdoors, good wine, and a proper moment together around food.

You’re working within a clear schedule, with a morning start and an early afternoon finish, and a group with mixed pace and preferences.

This proposal is designed to keep things simple, well-paced, and enjoyable for everyone — without unnecessary logistics or pressure on timing.

Your goal

Create a smooth, well-paced team experience that combines time outdoors, quality wine, and a shared food moment.

The day should feel relaxed and easy to follow, with no logistical friction, while still offering enough structure to keep the group engaged.

    I booked an e-bike journey through Lavaux with Pascal from Edible Switzerland as a gift for my husband's 50th birthday, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip... read more to Switzerland. From start to finish, Pascal was exceptional. His knowledge of the region, the vineyards, local history, and Swiss/French culture added so much depth to the experience, but what truly set him apart was how much he genuinely cared about making our day special. He went above and beyond in countless ways, tailoring the experience to our interests, sharing hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own, and making us feel more like friends than customers. The Lavaux region is absolutely breathtaking, and exploring it by e-bike was the perfect way to experience the vineyards, villages, and incredible views of Lake Geneva. The route was beautiful, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. We've traveled extensively and have done many guided experiences around the world, but this was one of the very best! If you're visiting Switzerland and are considering an e-bike tour, don't hesitate. Pascal created memories we'll be talking about for years to come. Thank you, Pascal and Edible Switzerland for making my husband's milestone birthday so memorable!

Jen was very helpful throughout the planning phase and very flexible in reorganizing the tour when the... read more weather forecast turned out to be unfavourable. We walked through the beautiful landscape and had some exciting wine tastings. The local natural and biodynamic wines were particularly interesting to taste. Moreover, Jen arranged a sumptuous lunch with the best local ingredients and dishes.

    We had a fantastic time on our moonlight snowshoe tour with Jen. It was the highlight of our time here in Switzerland. The trail that we took had spectacular views... read more of the mountains. Jen was an amazing guide telling us more about the local area, Swiss culture and cuisine. I’ll be recommending this to everyone I know who has plans to visit the area. Thanks so much Jen!

    My family and I had an awesome winery day trip with Jen and her colleague Dennis in the Swiss wine region of Lavaux. It was a beautiful day spent exploring... read more the region, learning about the wines and enjoying delicious tastings! Jen even went out of her way to build us a picnic with delicious and local food that was incredibly tasty for us to enjoy during the day.
