Enjoy a traditional cheese fondue lunch at a charming mountainside restaurant with panoramic Alpine views.

In the afternoon, travel through scenic Jura landscapes to Vallée de Joux, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking.

What To Expect

Maison Cailler

The Soul of Swiss Chocolate Founded in 1819, Maison Cailler holds the distinction of being Switzerland's oldest chocolate brand and a true pioneer in confectionery history. This legendary chocolatier revolutionized the world by creating the first mass-produced milk chocolate in 1875, using fresh Alpine milk from cows grazing just kilometers away in Gruyères' lush pastures. Nestled in a storybook medieval town, Cailler's historic factory invites visitors on an immersive journey through chocolate-making magic - from raw cocoa beans to their signature gold-awarded "Branches" pralines. For over two centuries, the brand has guarded its secret recipes in a vault while supplying European royalty with exceptionally creamy creations. Today, the interactive museum reveals how Cailler perfected the alchemy of Swiss chocolate, blending tradition with innovation in every velvety bite.

Gruyeres

After exploring chocolate mastery at Cailler, we’ll enjoy an exquisite lunch in Gruyères’ enchanting medieval village, where time seems to stand still. Stroll through cobbled streets lined with 15th-century buildings before sitting down at one of the village’s finest restaurants, where you’ll savor the ultimate Swiss culinary experience. Indulge in the region’s famous food: cheese fondue made with the finest aged Gruyère AOP, and culminating with the legendary double cream meringue – all paired with premium Swiss wines. The authentic flavors, historic atmosphere, and breathtaking Alpine views create an unforgettable gourmet interlude before our horological journey.
