We celebrate the love of food, community, and bringing it all together for fun, food, & flavour.

Our mission is to create a community of food lovers in Switzerland (and abroad) who share a passion for food and Swiss wine experiences. 

We connect food lovers (locals and tourists) to the best resources we can find in anywhere in Switzerland

We help you explore where your food comes from, how it’s produced, and who makes it.  

Through media, events, tours, workshops and a curated peer-to-peer marketplace, we allow our community to meet producers, chefs, farmers, artisans, vintners, brewmasters, each other, and even home cooks.

We believe that locally-sourced, sustainably-produced food matters to our health, to our lives, to our communities, and to the future of the world around us.

A focus on sustainable experiences

At EdibleSwitzerland, we are committed to practising sustainable tourism, running zero waste experiences, events, & tours, and giving back to our community.

We aim to be committed Swisstainable in 2025.

We are committed to serving the local economy. Quite literally, we serve local ingredients (be it honey, meat, vegetables, and other artisan products) paired with local wines and other beverages and artisan products.

We minimise waste through avoidance, reduction, recycling and separate disposal.

At our dining events, we use vintage plates, cloth napkins, real cups, glasses, and cutlery.

We encourage public transportation to and from events and experiences.

We work with local businesses & guides to provide alternative transportation eBikes, electric tuk-tuks, and other interesting tours and options to move people around. Be it offering guided tours, or tastings, or just an interpretive hike.

Additionally, we work with a partner agency to provide green energy for lights and sound (especially for outdoor events).

Supporting community: A portion of our proceeds goes towards creating a fund to help small food businesses launch and grow their business (be them actual food products, experiences, cooking classes, tours, or others) or specific charities.

  • Jen planned an amazing day for us in Lavaux wine country. She's very thoughtful in her organizing, providing many options to choose from based in type of hike desired, locations,... read more etc. She's very communicative leading up to the day, and making sure you are armed with the right directions to get to the meeting place and back to your hotel. Walking within the vineyards was such a cool experience, as well as being able to take in such beautiful views and scenery. The wineries are also very "hidden" in little villages, so I don't know how easy it'd be to find them on your own. Also, I know we went to more unique ones off the tourist trail. The wineries are family owned and its a totally different experience visiting them versus US wineries. Definitely bring a sturdy bag or backpack because the wine is so good you'll want to buy some! And like us you'll probably buy at the first winery too (or maybe all) Jen is also super knowledgeable, very interested in food and wine, learning and sharing info about the region. She really enjoys what she does! She gave us lots of recommendations for Lausanne and other parts of Switzerland, and all over the world based on our groups travel plans. We really had such a fun day and if we're back in the area will look her up again! Reach out to her if you will be in the area and like wine, Swiss wine is very unique! You won't regret it.

    Jen Burke is an exceptional wine tour guide! From start to finish, she made our day truly memorable with her warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail. The itinerary was perfectly... read more balanced—each stop offered something unique, and Jen’s insights into the local wines and history added so much depth to the experience. We especially loved the lunch at Jean Christophe’s, the only vintner in the region that produces natural wines, which was a real highlight. Jen’s passion for wine and the region is contagious. We left not only with wonderful memories but also with a deeper appreciation for the area and its wines. Highly recommended—thank you, Jen, for an unforgettable day! Lia Zürich, Switzerland

  • 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!

    A wonderful day of wine tasting and walking tour from Grand Lavaux station across the Dezaley terraces down to Rivaz. Jen organized the tour to meet our likes/dislikes… both the... read more wines and our picnic lunch. Had we attempted this on our own, we would have missed so much. As a local, her insights were interesting and her contacts made for great experiences, such as meeting the winemakers. Afterwards she sent us two pages of links and additional info for the remainder of our trip. Highly recommend using Jen as your Lavaux guide!

    My wife and I booked a wine tour with EdibleSwitzerland as part of our 20th wedding anniversary celebrations, and while January is unfortunately out of season for hosted tours, what... read more followed was an experience we will genuinely never forget, entirely thanks to Jennifer. Although Jennifer couldn’t personally host our tour, she went above and beyond by helping us plan the most incredible self-guided wine tour through the stunning Lavaux wine region. From the very beginning, Jennifer was generous with her time, happy to jump on a call to understand our wine preferences, where we were staying, and exactly what we wanted from the day. Her passion for Lavaux and wine was immediately clear. We were staying in Lausanne, and with Jennifer’s guidance we hopped on a train to Puidoux station and followed her carefully prepared directions to our first stop: Gaillard & Fils winery. The weather was absolutely stunning - crisp, with a chill in the air, but bright sunshine throughout the day. On Jennifer’s recommendation, we chose three wines to taste, and they did not disappoint. Despite it being January, we opted to sit outside on the terrace. Jennifer was surprised we braved it, but with the breathtaking views, sunshine, and a mild temperature of around 8°C, it was perfect. In all honesty, we could have stayed there all day and been completely content. From there, Jennifer had suggested moving on for lunch and what a suggestion it was. We walked approximately 1.5km across the Lavaux vineyards to Café Riex, soaking in the incredible scenery along the way. The walk was beautiful and worked up a great appetite. Café Riex is a very traditional restaurant in a small village and clearly popular, booking is highly recommended, especially as they stop serving around 3pm, so planning lunch for around 1pm or earlier is essential. We opted for the chef’s daily special, a three-course lunch that was absolutely fantastic , perfectly balanced, not too filling, but more than enough to fuel the rest of our adventure. Miguel looked after us wonderfully and recommended a lovely bottle of red wine to accompany lunch. We trusted his suggestion, and once again, it did not disappoint. If you ever have the chance to visit Café Riex, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Combined with Gaillard & Fils, it was the perfect start to our Lavaux experience. Our final leg of the journey was on foot once more. Jennifer had discussed our walking ability in advance, and we were more than happy to take on a longer walk, a great way to walk off lunch and build anticipation for the final tasting. Armed with another map prepared by Jennifer, we set off through the Lavaux region, passing through charming villages and countless signposted wineries nestled into the hillsides. It would have been so easy to stop at many along the way they all looked wonderfully authentic. Our last stop of the day was Terrasse de Lavaux (Urban Winery). Here, we enjoyed our final tasting of the afternoon, opting for the red wine selection. We were presented with four superb wines, which rounded off the day perfectly. As the terrace itself was closed, we sat indoors, a cosy and fitting end to an incredible journey. What I really want to highlight in this review is our immense appreciation for Jennifer. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, then carefully created an itinerary that suited our interests, abilities, and the season - and she did all of this free of charge. I even offered to pay for her time, but Jennifer refused, explaining that she simply loves Lavaux and wine and was disappointed she couldn’t host us personally. Instead, she was determined to help us create a day we would love - and she absolutely succeeded. This level of care, generosity, and passion is rare. Jennifer turned what could have been a disappointment into one of the most memorable days of our anniversary trip. Truly top-class service. Merci infiniment, Jennifer - votre gentillesse et votre passion ont rendu notre journée inoubliable. Avec toute notre reconnaissance. 🍷🇨🇭

About the owner/operator/guide

Travel & experience designer, editor, foodie, digital professional

Hi, I’m Jen. I am a foodie. Which means, I like food and everything around food. I like creating. I like sharing. I especially like creating unique foodie experiences.

I am a Canadian-Swiss (who moved to Switzerland cira 2010 to marry a Valaisan). Before that, I lived in California wine country (Sonoma/Napa) & Ontario, Canada. But I am from the Yukon Territory in Northern Canada (mile 906.8 Alaska Highway to be exact). I currently live in a pastoral Fribourg village of Bossonnens with that Valaisan husband and two sons.

When I’m not working on Edible Switzerland or moderating the Foodies in Switzerland group or the #SwisswineLovers group, I have a digital concierge agency with a few clients all over the world.

Here’s to enjoying and sharing more online and off. Santé! Cheers!
