AT THIS TIME


On Wednesday, 21 January, the Pays de Neuchâtel celebrates one of its most iconic winter events: the public tasting of Non-Filtré, Switzerland’s first wine of the year. Discover this typically Neuchâtel white wine made from Chasselas grapes and bottled without filtration, in a friendly atmosphere at the Anciens Abattoirs in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Tastings and local entertainment set the rhythm for the evening, with on-site catering (local sharing platters, raclette, bar) and free shuttle buses from Neuchâtel and Boudevilliers to make getting there easy.

But in the Pays de Neuchâtel, the pleasure of fine food and drink can be enjoyed all year round — and winter gives it a very special character. As the air turns crisp and the landscapes grow lighter, local products reveal their flavours even more fully. Immerse yourself in the captivating world of cocoa at Jacot Haute Chocolaterie in Môtiers. Workshop visits, immersive experiences and tastings awaken the senses and offer a warm, comforting break in the heart of winter.
