Switzerland - Cheese town ➕ Chocolate Factory

Take the kids on a weekend trip to Gruyere Cheese Town. 10:00 Train to 📍 cheese factory La Maison du Gruyere, at the door will be handed a small portion of cheese and a microphone respectively 6, 9, 12 months of Gruyere AOP cheese, just to stroll while listening to taste.

At the beginning of the half hour is just the cheese scene production, did not expect a large cylinder of 4800L milk, can only make 12 wheel cheese, four cylinders of milk a day, just make four times, while watching and listening, very rewarding.

11:00 From the cheese factory take the 260 road hill, this is to Gruyere cheese town, small but beautiful along the main street walk five minutes to see the castle.

Gruyere Castle was built in the 13th century and has exquisite rooms and beautiful gardens. The scale is not too big to visit but not tired, the scenery here alone. 13:00 After visiting the castle, I was hungry and went to find Chalet de Gruyere, who had been fascinated by the name for a long time, and then I found out that Chalet is closed.

The restaurant has been moved next door to 📍Table Chevaliers, which has a great view and is the best fondue I have ever had in Switzerland.

14:30 Eat and drink, bus + train to Broc Chocolatier station. Off the train is 📍 chocolate factory Maison Cailler. Second visit to the Chocolate factory, this time not to the museum, just to make Easter Bunny chocolates. (I have to say that Cailler is a Nestle culture immersion, Chocolate museum, and I would recommend Lindt Chocolate House.)

After the Easter special at 15:30 for the workshop master demonstration (French + English), everyone began to do their own work first on the decorative color, then on the base color, then grouting, and finally the back cover. Although not as many decorations as the last time to make 3D cow chocolate, but more technical content, but also need more meditation, Wa said that the two kinds of chocolate to do the same interesting.

One and a half hours, the chocolate is finished, when the mold can have a sense of achievement! And then you end up taking home your worn apron which is a real surprise. Carrying the fruits of their labor, the children's park at the door and then releasing electricity, it is a perfect day.
