Gruyères, Lavaux & Chocolate Day Trip from Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland · 9h · 1–7 people

Runs in English Turkish French

A full-day escape from Geneva to taste wine in Lavaux, cheese in Gruyères, and chocolate at Cailler.

Leave Geneva behind for a day and head into the Swiss countryside, with pickup right from your hotel. First stop is the Lavaux vineyard terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage site above Lake Geneva, where a local winemaker leads you through a tasting of the region's Chasselas whites with the Alps as backdrop. From there it's on to the alpine village of Gruyères, where you'll see how the famous cheese is made and taste it fresh at the factory, then wander the medieval Château de Gruyères and the cobblestone streets of the old town — with free time to grab lunch or just soak up the fairy-tale atmosphere. The day wraps up at the Cailler Chocolate Factory in Broc, with an interactive tour through the story of Swiss chocolate and a generous tasting before the relaxed drive back to Geneva. Travel in a comfortable van with a professional guide and driver, in a small group capped at 7 people — perfect for a relaxed, personal day of Swiss food, wine, and scenery.
