Swiss Education Academy has curated a set of unique travel and hands-on learning experiences for families and youth this January, July and August with programs showcasing some of Switzerland’s most famous cities, landmarks and culinary traditions—including Switzerland’s world-renown chocolate.
New for 2022, Swiss Education Academy is introducing the Chocolate and Culture Family Program. Families can choose from itineraries of up to one week exploring Switzerland’s rich cultural traditions and even richer chocolate creations or focus on its cheese and winemaking traditions.
Week one of the family program, from January 3 to 7 or July 25 to 31, offers chocolate and pastry tours and hands-on workshops suitable for parents, grandparents, and children ages 8 to 17. The summer session has an optional second week, from August 1 to 7, where the program switches focus to the secrets of Switzerland’s cheese and wine industries.
The Chocolate and Culture program includes family-friendly accommodations, meals, activities and excursions. Registration starts at 5,400 Swiss Francs (CHF) or approximately $5,920 U.S. dollars per week for one adult and one child and 10,800 CHF or roughly $11,840 U.S. dollars per week for a family of four.

“We created the Chocolate and Culture program to help parents and their children learn together while exploring something everyone loves – Swiss chocolate – while meeting other families with similar interests from all over the world,” said Youth Programs Director Amaury Depaux who is with Swiss Education Group, Switzerland’s largest private educator. The group operates four globally acclaimed hospitality business and culinary management schools, and its Swiss Education Academy incorporates its faculty and picturesque campuses on the shores of Lake Geneva and in the Swiss Alps into the academy’s offerings.
