Chocolate Workshop, Tasting & a cruise on the Lake of Zurich

Your guide will meet and greet you at the designated meeting point before providing an overview of the day's adventure.

As you travel through Zurich, you'll learn about the city's history, culture, and traditions while discovering how it grew from the Roman settlement of Turicum into Switzerland's largest city.

The first stop of the day is dedicated to one of Switzerland's most beloved traditions: chocolate. Accompanied by your guide, you'll explore the fascinating story of Lindt and the evolution of Swiss chocolate making. Learn about the origins of pralines, which date back to the French royal court, and discover how Rodolphe Lindt revolutionised chocolate production in 1879 with the invention of the conching process. Your guide will explain how Swiss craftsmanship helped transform chocolate into one of the country's most recognised exports.

Following the introduction, you'll participate in an engaging chocolate-making workshop where you'll learn the techniques behind Swiss chocolate production and create your own delicious chocolate creations. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to taste a selection of premium chocolates while gaining insight into the artistry and expertise behind every piece.

The experience continues with a scenic journey through Zurich as your guide shares stories about the city's heritage, the Protestant Reformation, and traditions such as Sechseläuten, one of Zurich's oldest and most celebrated festivals.

To conclude the day, you'll embark on a relaxing cruise across Lake Zurich. As you sail along the shoreline, enjoy views of the city, surrounding villages, rolling hills, and distant Alpine peaks. Your guide will point out notable landmarks and explain the importance of Lake Zurich to the development of the region while you unwind and take in the scenery from the water.

After enjoying your cruise on Lake Zurich, your guide will accompany the group back to the original meeting point.
