10 Classes & Workshops in Canton of Vaud That You Shouldn't Miss

June 27, 2021 Roger Rusk

Located in the southwestern part of Switzerland, in its French-speaking part between Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchâtel, the Canton of Vaud is a vacation destination where life is good. Easily accessible thanks to the proximity of Geneva international airport and an exceptionally dense public transport network, the region offers all the necessary infrastructures, from five-star palaces to charming guest rooms. The diversity of its landscapes, from the peaks of the Alps, to the lakeside towns of Lausanne and Montreux, to the wide open spaces of the Jura and the authentic charm of the countryside, concentrates all the facets of Switzerland in one territory. The beautiful towns and villages, such as Lausanne, Montreux, Nyon, Morges and Yverdon-les-Bains, are steeped in centuries of history and rich in captivating culture. This region has influenced and inspired artists over the years, from Lord Byron and Audrey Hepburn to Charlie Chaplin and Freddie Mercury. But the region is best known for its art of living. Local or internationally renowned events, outdoor sports activities, regional know-how, typical and high level gastronomy, excellent wines, living traditions, cultural offer... are all elements that seduce visitors.

I can’t express how grateful we are for Stephanie teaching us how to ski! We had 3 sets of 2 hour lessons and the progress we made was remarkable, the school has great facilities. We were adults learning for the first time and although it’s a humbling experience it instructor was good at keeping us positive and progressing. Can’t recommend it enough.

Conte-Gouts

Yesterday From 2003 to 2006, Gabriel Serero worked alone as a personal chef, offering clients a la carte dining at home. Gabriel Serero soon created a name for himself by playing with traditional and modern gastronomy to create a truly unique dining experience for his guests. In 2007, Chef Julien Lerouxel joined the company and, three years later, Conte-Gouts was created. Since then it is two complementary visions, two complementary approaches to cooking and flavour that reside at the heart of this shared adventure: an adventure which has allowed a shared passion to become a business, and a rigorous approach that has turned the passion into a profession. Today We finally have the tools and environment to match our ambitions. An ambition that has found its place in the vast space that we call the Loges du Gout - the house of taste. Catering Services Enliven. Entertain. Entice. Standing and sit-down meals in an environment created uniquely for you, around a particular theme or concept. Discover the Conte-Gouts spirit in our cocktails et aperitifs dinatoires, where you will be both actor and spectator in the feast. Our catering service is our Fine Dining at Home for anything from 30 to a 1000 people. Team Building The kitchen and the act of cooking, like culture and creativity, allows us to discover unexplored facets of the individual through the use of nonverbal forms of expression. Conte-Gouts specialized as time goes by in the organization of Team-Building around cooking and gastronomy, for groups going from 6 to 300 persons. We shall accompany you in the choice of the formula corresponding most to your wishes and to the needs of your society. Culinary entertainment Bring a note of originality to your event!

Laderach Chocolatier Suisse

The Tasting and Workshop course is the best experience you can offer your colleagues, association members or class. In this course, you can taste the finest chocolate and make your very own exquisite chocolate creations. A truly unforgettable experience!

So Vevey - in addition to being the final resting spot of Charlie Chaplin - is also the headquarters of Nestle, world-famous (among other things) for its milk chocolate confectionaries. However, Vevey also houses a Laderach store, a family-owned chocolatier and considered the premium chocolatier in Switzerland (kind of like an anti-Nestle, I like to think). At any rate, I've been searching for a high-quality boutique chocolatier ever since my favorite Belgian one (Manon) sadly closed a number of years ago. Nothing has ever matched Manon's standard imo - until I tried Laderach. It is very very good and very similar to what I had with Manon. I chose an assortment of Laderach's chocolates and truffles - and they had a terrific assortment such that I agonized and despaired over which ones to select - and brought them carefully home in my carry-on. My wife and I ceremoniously opened the box, partook of a couple each - and omg, what fine chocolates these are! Rich buttercream fillings, strong coffee flavors, dusky dusty truffles - can't wait to return for more! I hear they've opened a store in New York City, so will be checking that out over the holidays!

Villars Ski School - Ecole de ski a Villars

Our ski and snowboard school was founded in 1974 by Jacques Stump, who developed a revolutionary teaching method: The Evolutionary Method (GLM®). For beginners, this teaching has the advantage of simplicity and consistency, thus canceling the apprehension of the slide and its dangers. While having fun, after a few days you will become a skier.

We are near the end of our week with our girls learning to snowboard. They are young - 6 & 7 years only but we are very happy with the results. Our girls are learning with Inigo who has been very patient with them but really improved their technique day by day. He is teaching with his heart - which is all we ask for & the results are showing already.
