Our journey begins promptly at Route de Berne 144 in Lausanne, where we will travel to the renowned Maison Cailler, one of Switzerland's most celebrated chocolate factories.
Upon arrival at Maison Cailler in Broc, you will have the opportunity to discover the chocolate-making process, complemented by tastings of various delectable creations produced on-site.
