Swiss Fondue Making Experience in Geneva

I did this experience solo but it's definitely better with a few friends or family members purely because of the amount of fondue! I was looked after by Biniam who was very friendly and chatty since I was on my own. I was offered some white wine but as I'm not a big drinker, I has the apple juice instead which I could have as much of as I wanted throughout the experience. Biniam then explained how to make fondue...there was me thinking it was just melting these (which is part of it) but you start with boiling white wine which enhances the taste. Once the wine gets to a certain temperature you add the cheese. The tradition is a 50/50 split of two different cheeses (I won't spoilt which ones in case you do the tour). While the cheese is melting, you can enjoy a charcuterie board which was delicious. I then got given a big bowl of bread and it was time to fondue. It was so delicious but as mentioned before...there was so much and I couldn't finish it. I was then treated to a dessert made with thick cream, meringue and strawberry which was also delicious. To end my experience I could take away a little Swiss keepsake. A great introduction to Swiss cuisine!

Our guide Nicolas was amazing! He went above and beyond what we thought we were getting from our experience! He definitely made sure we had a great time and I would 100% come again!

It’s a quick and easy experience to learn how to make fondue and chef Nicholas is a great guy very nice and easy to talk to. We really enjoyed our time with him and he even gifted us Souvenirs after. We'd love to come back and visit soon! Thank you for everything.

Nicholas was a great teacher and we enjoyed our fondue making experience. It was located in the coffee shop of a tour company, not a restaurant, but each high top table was set up with a fondue pot and all the accompanying accessories. We began with a small “charcuterie plate” of dried beef and pickled onions. Then some white wine in cute little glasses emblazoned with the flags of all the Swiss cantons. We poured some more of the wine into the hot fondue pot ( burning off the alcohol), then added a very large bowl of grated cheese….both Gruyere and a special cheese made in Fribourg which mde the fondue even creamier. After much stirring the chese had all melted and we were given a basket of cubed bread to start dipping. It was delicious! We had a wonderful dessert after we had stuffed ouselves with fondue. It was meringue with strawberry puree and a rich and heavenly cream base. Yum!!! Finally, we were offered to each choose a little gift, like a Swiss keychain. It was a fun and tasty experience!!

My friend and I had a private fondue making session with Nicolas and I would highly recommend! We made our own cheese fondue at a much cheaper cost than ordering one in a restaurants. Nicolas was so friendly and enthusiastic. He surprised us with a traditional Swiss dessert and a small gift from the gift shop. Definitely an experience that we not forget and we will recommend to anyone travelling to Geneva!
