  • 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!

    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!

    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.

  • 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.

    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!
