The staff don't speak English very well, but they speak the language of chocolate, and that translates very well. The chocolates themselves are insanely good.

Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly host who guided us through their entire selection of chocolate as well as what chocolate Switzerland was known for. He was also kind enough to let us all sample 2 chocolates. Our group ended up buying 40+ pieces across the 4 of us, which we readily consumed over the next 2 days. Each piece was as rich and unique as was described, and certainly gave us a good start to our Switzerland chocolate experience.

I came into Durig because I read online that you can do chocolate workshops here throughout the…read moreday. Unfortunately I didn't have time to try the workshop, but I did walk around and pick out some chocolates to bring home as gifts. The prices are high, as they are in any gourmet chocolate shop around Lausanne. The lowest price I found was around 5 CHF and it went up from there. They have amazing individual chocolate selection at the cash register, which is priced by weight and comes out to around 1-2 CHF per piece. The associate was so kind and helpful - honestly the friendliest person I met in Lausanne. She also gave me a free piece of chocolate (you get to pick) when I checked out! The best part of the experience was that when I paid and had to select USD or CHF, she said she recommended CHF - that is the better exchange rate and she was nice enough to mention it. I highly recommend coming in if you're in Lausanne!!

The employees don't speak much English, but they were still very helpful! Ask for the "almond princess" aka chocolate covered almonds - which I think is their best seller as they have it in several size options (small bags, gift boxes). Yes - you'll think to yourself, why am I spending 10+ euros on almonds?? Trust me, it is a glorious experience!! I wish I brought more home. They seem to last quite a while so these would be great gifts to bring back (if you can resist eating them all yourself)! I also tried both milk and dark chocolate truffles which were so good. I only wish I visited Auer earlier on my trip so I could try more of their sweet treats!! Favorite chocolate shop ever!

However, Vevey also houses a Laderach store, a family-owned chocolatier and considered the premium chocolatier in Switzerland (kind of like an anti-Nestle, I like to think). At any rate, I've been searching for a high-quality boutique chocolatier ever since my favorite Belgian one (Manon) sadly closed a number of years ago. Nothing has ever matched Manon's standard imo - until I tried Laderach. It is very very good and very similar to what I had with Manon. I chose an assortment of Laderach's chocolates and truffles - and they had a terrific assortment such that I agonized and despaired over which ones to select - and brought them carefully home in my carry-on. My wife and I ceremoniously opened the box, partook of a couple each - and omg, what fine chocolates these are! Rich buttercream fillings, strong coffee flavors, dusky dusty truffles - can't wait to return for more! I hear they've opened a store in New York City, so will be checking that out over the holidays!
