Great start to a day in Basel - This was a great little thing to do in Basel. I got to taste great local cheeses - many of which you can’t find elsewhere. For the amount of cheese, time, and explanation provided - I think it should cost more. 🤷‍♀️ Would recommend doing the later option so you can taste wine with cheese.

Cheese and Chocolate - Great Combo - Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable about all things related to cheese. We tasted 6 different types of cheese and then 6 different types of chocolate. The cocoa beans are from different places worldwide but all chocolate was made in Switzerland. Amazing culinary experience.
