  • 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.

    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!

    Great wine tasting and walking tour of Laveau. Jen was excellent at arranging special tastings at three stops (we met the wine makers and leaders at each), and the... read more picnic she prepared and served was icing on the cake. (Lovely meats and cheeses and accompanying fruits and wine!). Finally, to be able to walk through the vineyards and wineries really brings home just how magical the region is. Great experience - highly recommend.

We walked through the beautiful landscape and had some exciting wine tastings. The local natural and biodynamic wines were particularly interesting to taste.

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!
