Imagine lounging in a pool with a view of Mont Blanc while sipping a glass of wine and nibbling a perfectly ripe Tomme de Savoie. Dive into the exquisite landscape and food culture of the French Alps with Cheese Journeys’ owner Anna Juhl and David Robinson – cheese expert, buyer, and manager for Formaggio Kitchen – for a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure.
You’ll begin the tour with an epic cave tour in the Jura Mountains to learn about Comté cheese, then head to base camp: a beautifully restored 1,000-year-old chateau overlooking fields and vineyards in the Savoie department of France. You’ll enjoy tastings in the wine cave and aperitifs on the terrace, not to mention gourmet meals in the red dining room, prepared and served by our private chefs. This expedition is all about slowing down and enjoying the natural beauty of France and Switzerland, along with delicious daytrips to meet local artisans who produce the most elegant wines, cheeses, and charcuterie.
Prepare for scenery that feels like an opera set and traditional meals, like Raclette and fondue, served in actual Alpine chalets. Cheese culture doesn’t get more picturesque than this!
