On the Swiss Riviera, Vevey is perched between Mount PÂlerin and Lake Geneva. Writers, artists and intellectuals have long been attracted to the village: Henry James's "Daisy Miller" is set here (you can still stay at the Hotel des Trois Couronnes) and Charlie Chaplin made nearby Corsier his home. Today, it's the headquarters for Nestl yet retains its old-world charm. To see for yourself, meander the alleys of Old Town, visit the fine art collection at the Muse Jenisch and shop at the weekly market.

We visited by this small museum tucked away in a courtyard close to the lake. Fantastic - we were very impressed by history of the Festival of the Vignerons which is only held 5 times a century. Not generally a huge fan of museums but this was simple and not too big. Free admission and great service from the lady at reception.

Wonderful! We did a chocolate-making class in Vevey as adult family members. It was so much fun, taught in English, and had a great history of Chocolate beans and cultivation.

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!

For over 30 years already, the world's first-ever food-themed museum has been sharing a global and independent view of the many aspects of the human diet. Its multidisciplinary, cultural, historical, scientific and nutritional-focused approach and its bold and original programme of activities have established the Alimentarium as the world's leading food-themed attraction. As the centrepiece of the Museum, the new permanent exhibition "Food - The essence of life" invites children and adults alike to take a fresh look at an activity steeped in history and laden with emotional significance: eating. The unique new scenography, combining discovery, experimentation and learning, invites visitors on a fun-filled, interactive journey through three new sectors: Food, Society and The Body. Enlivened with projections, interactive terminals and video installations, this immersive experience will make visitors aware of the influence diet can have on the body and its environment.
While I was hesitant at first, I went in not knowing what to expect from the 'food museum' and I came out having had the most pleasant of surprises!. The museum is interactive, it really invites you to be curious, to play and discover about nutrition, how certain foods dominated in parts of the world at different times, and much more... Not to mention the super delicious food I had for lunch which was prepared by chefs at the museum's cafe. I highly recommend eating there. At the same time, beware! Do not start your visit to Alimentarium on an empty stomach!
