Bring some napkins so you can wipe off melted chocolates from your hands. The quality is exactly what you'd expect from Switzerland -- smooth, rich, and dangerously easy to overindulge. You also get to see parts of the actual production line, which is fascinating if you enjoy seeing how things are made. It's clean, efficient, and gives you a new appreciation for what goes into each bar. The gift shop is well-stocked (yes, we bought way too much), and prices are actually reasonable considering the quality. Great place to pick up souvenirs that people will genuinely be excited about.

It's definitely worth seeing the facotry, but the self guided tour was not interesting. They provided a token at customer service for storing your bigger bags/jackets in locker. The samples were abundant and very generous. Fun to spend 2 hours there. By the time we finished the tour, we were full and couldn't eat lunch. Go when you got the Swiss pass.

It was so flavorful, soft and light on the inside and crisp on the outside. We came back the next day and bought a small box to eat during our short stay in Chamonix from this sweet older gentleman. Then came back on our last day, and the sweet guy who I think owns the store chuckled at us for being back so often. Anyway we bought even more macarons for ourselves and another box for a friend's bday gift. We also bought all our chocolate souvenirs for our friends and family from them. Don't miss it!

Each piece was as rich and unique as was described, and certainly gave us a good start to our Switzerland chocolate experience.

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!!

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!
