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 2024.
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 upcycled 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.

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!
