Operated by Swiss Epic Tours · Gruyères, Canton of Fribourg
You step out of a quiet Zurich street into a plush Mercedes and watch the city fall away as road and rail give way to green pastures. By the time the car rounds the low foothills, the slate rooftops of Gruyères appear like a storybook village; the air smells faintly of hay and simmering fondue. This full-day private tour threads three Swiss specialties—Cailler chocolate in Broc, Gruyère AOP at La Maison du Gruyère, and a tasting among the terraced vineyards of Lavaux on Lake Geneva.
easy.
10 hours.
Light activity: mostly seated travel with short walks and standing tastings; suitable for most fitness levels
Yes — this private tour uses a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with pickup and drop-off at an agreed point in Zurich.
Inform the operator at booking and the guide can usually adapt tastings for allergies or vegetarian diets.
Many locations are wheelchair accessible and the transport options are wheelchair friendly, but some cobbled streets and vineyard paths may be uneven—ask for specific accessibility needs when booking.
Walking is limited to short, mostly flat sections in museums, cheese-affineur areas and vineyard viewpoints; the day is otherwise driven between sites.
Gruyères is a medieval hill town whose name is tied to the region’s cheese production; Gruyère AOP rules preserve traditional methods. Lavaux’s terraces date back to medieval viticulture and are protected as a cultural landscape.
Lavaux is UNESCO-listed and managed to balance viticulture with erosion control; visitors should stay on marked paths to protect vines and soil, and producers emphasize local-sourcing and low-impact practices.
