Invitation

Some of you will come alone, but you will definitely leave with new friends.

We’re setting a table in the vines above Lac Léman. Good food and a mix of people who probably wouldn’t meet in person otherwise.

No seating plan. No pressure.
Just an evening that will take on a life of its own.

About your hosts

Two “Foodies in Switzerland” meet on Instagram. And decide to take it offline.

Jen Burke: The person behind EdibleSwitzerland and the Foodies in Switzerland community.

I organise these dinners the way I like to be invited. Interesting people around a table — and we see what happens.

Brooke Hadas of SupperWoman Meals (on IG) is behind the evening’s menu.

Her cooking draws from the Middle East and North Africa — bold flavours, generous dishes, and food meant to be shared.

Experiences to savour

What did our guests love about us! Read their reviews!

  • My husband and I both agreed that this was the best wine tour we have ever taken. It was exceptional! Jen took us to visit 3 amazing wine makers... read more who each made excellent wines and had interesting backgrounds. We have been on many wine tours in other countries and you don’t always get to meet the wine makers so we were delighted we were meeting with the wine makers. Jen is a very charming and kind guide who also introduced us to raclette dining (which I’m obsessed with now) and our picnic lunch was filled with incredible food. She also took extra care and time to bring a beautiful setting for our picnic lunch along the lake. The Lavaux region and its wines is outstanding. Thank you Jen for such a memorable time.

    Jennifer is such a friendly, knowledgeable local! She went above and beyond to create a memorable experience for me. Can’t wait for my next trip!

    We spent an afternoon with Jen last week, hiking the Lavaux wine region and tasting as we walked. She was wonderful from the first contact, willing to work with us... read more regarding time, level of difficulty, what types of wines we were most interested in, and which wineries she thought would interest us. She prepared a very detailed and elaborate presentation just for us, including history and development of the region, in depth discussion of the wines and their peculiarities, suggestions of where we could visit on our own, and suggestions for other things to do during our stay. Her narration as we hiked was very interesting and she was warm and fun to be with. She also prepared a picnic lunch and brought a grand cru wine for us to drink with it. We had a perfect day and would highly recommend Jen and Edible Switzerland for any activity you’d like to try!

  • 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. She was very thoughtful in organizing our tour and selected some great places for us to enjoy Swiss wine. I would 100% recommend this tour!!!

    We had a wonderful afternoon with Jen. Her picnic was picture perfect and the wineries she took us to were fantastic! We loved our time in Lavaux!

    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!

Doing things differently

At EdibleSwitzerland, we try to keep things simple.
Less waste. More local. And events that actually make sense.

We work with local producers. Honey, meat, vegetables, artisan products — and the wines that go with them.

We avoid disposable as much as possible. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

No plastic. Vintage plates, cloth napkins, real glasses.

If you can, come by train. It’s easier.

We work with local businesses and guides.
E-bikes, tuk-tuks, tastings, hikes.

And whenever we can, we use green energy.

Otherwise, they can simply check in under your name.

Additionally, please read our terms of purchase policy.

When we started these events, we asked ourselves what was actually necessary — and what wasn’t.

So we kept things simple: less waste, more reuse, more local.

If you’d like the details, you can read our sustainability statement.

EVENT

What should I wear?

The dinner takes place in a vintner’s garden — uneven ground, a few cobblestones. Comfortable shoes are a good idea. Evenings can cool down, so bring a jacket.

Dress it up a little if you feel like it. Or don’t. Jeans work just fine.

If the weather turns, we’ll move inside. You’ll hear from us a few days before.

How do I get to the event?

At Marina’s place, in a small wine village in Lavaux
La Place 14, 1098 Epesses

By car
Parking is available on either side of the village, then it’s a short walk down to the garden.

Parking option #1 (east of village)
Parking option #2 (centre village)

By train (the nicest option)
Get off at Grandvaux and walk down to the village (about 45 minutes, beautiful route). Easy return from Epesses (5 minutes on foot from the garden, downhill).

Simple option
Train to Epesses, then a 15-minute walk — it’s uphill.

Do you allow dogs at your event?

As much as we love them, dogs aren’t allowed at this event.

Will the event be postponed?

The event will go ahead. We’ve planned an indoor option if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

When will I receive directions and other important information about the event?

You’ll receive an email about two weeks before the event with directions, final details, and a few practical notes so you know exactly what to expect.

What can I bring, other than my fabulous self?

Bring something to share — something you love and want others to discover. We’ll place everything on a table, and everyone leaves with something new.

OTHER QUESTIONS

Can I buy a gift certificate?

You can definitely offer somebody else a place at the table. Just purchase a ticket and reply to the order confirmation with the name of the guest.

Do you host other private events?

Yes. We create small, tailored events — in vineyards, on farms, usually around food, wine, and a good table.

If you’re planning something for a group or a team, or thinking about something similar, get in touch.
