    Basel

    In between the tastings, the clients will stroll through the heart of Basel and its long-lasting heritage. The guide will escort the client inside the best this small city has to offer, such as the 500-year-old Roothus (Town Hall) built from 1019 to 1700 holding some of the most distinct paintings. Or even, the house where the art of pharmacology was founded and the famous Basler Münster with a breathtaking view of Basel. This can only be continued by the city’s artistic side with the opera house and its musical Tinguely fountain.

    This experience introduces the journey of chocolate from raw cocoa beans to the finished bar. Cocoa grows in tropical regions, where the beans are harvested, fermented, and dried before reaching chocolate makers. In a bean-to-bar workshop, the entire transformation is carefully controlled in small batches to develop specific flavors and quality. You’ll learn how the beans are roasted, cracked, and ground into cocoa mass, then refined and mixed before the important tempering process that gives chocolate its smooth texture and shine. Guests will also mold their own chocolate and taste different varieties, discovering how cocoa origin and percentage influence flavor. Switzerland’s long tradition of chocolate craftsmanship makes this both a cultural and culinary experience.

    Basel's Old Town

    Basel's Old Town

    Basel’s Old Town reflects more than two thousand years of history shaped by trade, culture, and its strategic location along the Rhine. Our walk begins in the medieval streets of Spalenberg, where colorful houses and narrow lanes preserve the city’s historic character. At Marktplatz, the red Rathaus has served as Basel’s political center for over 500 years. The route then leads to the Basel Minster, built of red sandstone and overlooking the river. From the nearby Pfalz terrace, panoramic views reveal the Old Town and surrounding districts. The tour concludes at the historic Mittlere Brücke, which for centuries connected the two sides of the city and remains one of Basel’s most iconic viewpoints.
