AT THE moment


In the Neuchâtel region, winter is a time to savour! The tradition of unfiltered wine – the first Swiss wine of the year – continues in the canton’s cellars, where you can discover this iconic Chasselas directly from the winegrowers themselves.

The highlight of March is the “Festin Neuchâtelois”, on 7 and 8 March. On Saturday 7, a walk allows you to meet local producers and artisans. On Sunday, partner restaurants showcase regional specialities through the Festin menu adapted to their own menus. A festive weekend to discover the canton through taste.

To prolong the experience, Tourisme Neuchâtelois’ Food Tours invite you to savour the region in a different way all year round:
  • Neuchâtel Food Tour: four gourmet stops between the lake and the Belle Époque old town.
  • La Chaux-de-Fonds Food Tour: regional tastings and Art Nouveau immersion.
These are ideal winter experiences for an outing with friends, family or colleagues.

Finally, for a more sensory interlude, immerse yourself in the world of cocoa at Jacot Haute Chocolaterie in Môtiers, with workshop tours and warm tastings.
