Sweet Zürich tours go west !
I am taking my sweet tooth to Geneva, to reveal addresses of the city’s most passionate artisans, who will share their craft with us, whether that’s baking and decorating seasonal cakes, or perfecting a ganache and adding some rather nontraditional ingredients to it. We’ll discover Carouge, the neighborhood south of Geneva’s old town, with a rich history and an Italian flair, and a charm all its own.
I’ll talk about the big name chocolate makers that give Geneva and Switzerland the reputation for being one of the chocolate capitals of the world; we’ll follow the history from centuries ago to today, as well as learn about how chocolate is made and what all those percentages and origins really mean. And talk plenty about non-chocolate sweets too, including the Swiss take on cupcakes and gelato. Last but certainly not least, you’ll also learn firsthand about tasting !
“Sweet Geneva” tours are Wednesday to Friday afternoons at 2pm. Tours stay small (2-6 people), last about 2.5 hours and cost CHF 85 per person. Private and/or customized tours, as well as gift certificates, are available.
All you need is a love of sweets ! Please e-mail kerrin [at] sweetgeneva [dot] ch for dates and availability.

Wish I could be there, boohoo.
November 11th, 2011 at 23:54
This is so exciting and a delicious idea! No doubt that Sweet Geneva will be as successful as Sweet Zurich. And if I’m close to Geneva, count on me to board on the tour!

Congrats, Kerrin! I think it’s fabulous that your work is your passion!

Okay, so I had to Google how far Zurich is from Geneva – or Geneva is from Zurich. According to my trusty sources that’s almost 3 hours away and about 300km.
Time and distance does not keep you away from a sweet destination, no?
What a fantastic expansion of the “Sweet” tour empire.
Bravo to you. I hope all locals and visitors to Geneva sign up now!
Where next?

First, you take Zurich; then Geneva…next stop is…??? LOL. When I get me-self to Switzerland, you will be the first person I’m contacting!

Valentina, muito obrigada et beijos da Suíça !
Emma, indeed, the sweet adventures continue ! Really hope we’ll meet on a tour one day (imagine how fun *that* would be, it would last 8 hours, haha !). Geneva or Zürich, your pick !
In the meantime, I’ll have one of those colorful treats you pointed out above, just for YOU.
BEXX, me too !
Picapau, thank you so much, I hope so ! Looking forward to meeting you on a tour for sure.
Amanda, thank youuuu, wish you guys were still here – we’d go sweet touring around together !
Julia, you are so right, Geneva and Zürich are on opposite sides of the country. And it is about a 3 hour train ride – but as you can imagine, a totally gorgeous train ride at that. Time and distance have never kept me from sweets, au contraire !
Where next…? Sweet Brisbane !!!
jen, next stop Toronto !! And yes yes, get over here to Switzerland already ! haha.

A wonderful and magical tour of some of Carouge’s best chocolate and pastry artisans. Kerrin is a very friendly, enthusiastic and knowlegeable guide. You’ll not get bored on this amazing journey as every place visited is a real discovery and the samples you’ll get to taste are just out-of-this-world.
Highly recommendable!
Cheers,
Rosa
