    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 were four men on an amazing guided winetour with Jen in Lavaux. 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.

  • Our tour of the beautiful terraced vineyards of Lavaux was everything for which we could of hoped. Jennifer put a lot of effort into finding wineries that were open... read more for tasting on the day of our tour. She gave a general overview of the wine industry in Switzerland as we walked amongst the vines between our winery stops. At each stop, we had a tasting of 3-4 wines including the popular Chasselas wines of Switzerland. Each winery shared more about the production of wine at their location. The views were spectacular, the picnic lunch overlooking the lake delicious and the wines amazing. Jennifer was punctual, quick to communicate during the booking process, adapted the day as we went and was a friendly guide. We would highly recommend this tour for those looking for an intimate and personalized tour of this amazing wine region!

    My husband and I did the Wine tasting in Chardonne vineyards tour as part of our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time with Jennifer from Edible Switzerland and it was... read more such a unique experience! We went to two vineyards on this tour - Domaine Ducret and Domaine Neyroud-Fonjallaz. We are from the U.S. and the vineyard experiences are much different there - the ones in Chardonne/Lavaux are much smaller and more private - most winemaking families live on the properties where the wine is made (and many have lived there for multiple generations!). They were happy to have visitors, show us around their wine-making areas, and do wine-tastings for us, but you have to book these tours and tastings in advance, which is where Jennifer came in. I would have had no idea how to book/contact the vineyards. It was also great to have a translator, as most of the winemakers spoke some English, but not with complete fluency. Jennifer is fluent in both English and French (the main language spoken in this area). The views in Lavaux are so incredible! Even in the winter when we went (November 2023). My husband also loved this experience and the wine, and he is typically not much of a wine drinker. 10/10 overall for views, wine, and experience, and not something that would have been a feasible activity for us being from a different country without utilizing Jennifer as a planner, tour guide, and translator. Highly, highly recommend!
