“Small group experience really enhanced the tour. Gabor, the tour guide, was polite, pleasant and full of fascinating information. The Gruyere cheese factory was fun and the acoustic guide fun. Same for the tour of Cailler chocolate factory. Most fascinating to me was tour of Gruyère chateau which was an exceptional historic site. The camaraderie among tour goers reached a culmination when we all stopped at Hotel Saint George for delicious fondue. I wouldn’t hesitate to book any tour with Gabor.”

Our wine coniseur was extremely interesting, sharing his love for wine and the history behind it. The oil sampling came as a surprise to me because I never realized the many flavors that are possible. Meats and cheeses at the deli were a first to my palate. Thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon Irina ❤️ Please try this tour if you are in Geneva!!”

Thank goodness the winemaker was a delight sharing the process for wine making and his love of the wine. We tasted several nice wines while there.”

“Henry was on time to pick us up and was polite and helpful in all areas of our tour. The chocolate and cheese tours were ok - but we would have loved to spend a bit more time at the castle. Seemed a bit pricey for what we got, especially considering we had to pay for the cheese tour and chocolate tour when we arrived at each location. The cost you pay is strictly for a driver.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $267

Wine tastings in Vaud, quick Lake Geneva photo stops, and Chillon Castle in one 10-hour small-group tour.

“Pros: lots of wine! Off the beaten path - We would not have been able to travel to these places without a guide. Amazing views of Lake Geneva. Friendly English speaking tour guide and hosts at each winery. Cons: A miscommunication caused use to wait an hour to be picked up. I recommend contacting the tour guide in advance to confirm pick up location and time. It’s a long day- Our tour included 2 wineries, visit to Chateau Chillion, and 1 tasting room representing multiple wineries. Each location was in different regions, so there was lots of driving.”
