Switzerland: Hiking and Wine in Three Languages
September 15–26, 2027 · 12 Days

Three regions, three languages, three wine cultures. Alpstein mountain hikes, a night at a lakeside mountain lodge, the dramatic cliffs of Creux du Van, and small-production Swiss wines that rarely leave the country.

Returning travelers receive a complimentary entrance to Hürlimannbad & Spa in Zurich as a thank you for traveling with me again.
