Package Overview
Château, Vines & Chocolate, Private Full-Day Tour from Geneva
Step into a day of Swiss elegance and indulgence that blends history, scenery, and flavor into one seamless journey. Your private Mercedes V-Class and personal host whisk you away from Geneva, travelling through Switzerland’s rolling landscapes towards the medieval lakeside gem of Montreux. Here, alongside the serene lake, your morning begins with a perfectly brewed coffee in a charming local café, the perfect start to the day.
From Montreux, the journey continues to Lake Geneva’s most iconic landmark. Château de Chillon. Enjoy an exclusive welcome before exploring its dramatic great halls, atmospheric dungeons, and panoramic towers, all set against an unforgettable backdrop of water and mountains.
The route then winds through the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards, where terraced slopes plunge towards the lake. In Chexbres, you’ll taste award-winning Swiss wines while surrounded by views so striking they’re almost surreal. It’s a moment to savour, quite literally, as you enjoy the craftsmanship of generations of winemakers.
Next, Montreux awaits again with a four-course gourmet lunch in an elegant restaurant overlooking the lake. Each dish is crafted from seasonal ingredients, and while a wine pairing is available à la carte, the view itself is already intoxicating.
The afternoon takes you into the postcard-perfect medieval village of Gruyères. Stroll its cobbled streets, admire its fairy tale castle from the outside, and sample the world renowned cheese that bears its name. Just when you think the day can’t get sweeter, you arrive at Maison Cailler, Switzerland’s oldest chocolate brand, for a guided tasting that immerses you in centuries of chocolate making tradition.
As the sun lowers over the Swiss countryside, relax in your private vehicle for the scenic return to Geneva. This is more than a day trip, it’s an expertly curated experience designed to show you Switzerland’s finest landscapes, flavors, and heritage without a moment wasted. Every detail is taken care of, every stop is unforgettable, and every taste is authentic. For those who value comfort, exclusivity, and the luxury of time well spent, this is the Swiss day you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.
