Swiss Chocolate and Cheese Tasting
June 1
Switzerland is well known for both chocolate and cheese. Enjoy a delicious day in which we will sample both! In the village of Broc, you will enjoy a hands-on tour of the Nestle/Cailler chocolate factory. The next stop is the La Maison du Gruyère cheese factory in Gruyères! After touring the cheese factory you can sample the local cheese at 3, 6 and 9 months of aging or buy a Fondue meal in the restaurant. After visiting both factories you will have 3 hours of free time to visit the beautiful village of Gruyères, the medieval Gruyeres Castle, the Tibetan Museum, or the home of “the Facehugger, the Chestburster and the Warrior”, the horrifying H.R. Giger (designer of the Alien) Museum. Cost: Adults $99 & children (under 12) $89
