The Alps · A Dairy · June to September
In short
A Cheese Farm and the making of it is a visit to a working alpine dairy in Austria or Switzerland while the milk is still warm. You watch the wheel come together, turn it yourself, and eat what came off the shelf last summer. It runs from June to September, and Avellera arranges it privately within a tailor-made journey.

Up to a working alpine dairy while the milk is still warm. You watch the wheel come together, turn it yourself, and eat what came off the shelf last summer.
Good to know
Yes. With A Cheese Farm and the making of it, Avellera takes you up to a working alpine dairy in Austria or Switzerland while the milk is still warm. You watch the cheese wheel come together, turn it yourself, and taste cheese that came off the shelf last summer. Avellera arranges the visit privately within a tailor-made Alpine journey.
Summer is the time, and A Cheese Farm and the making of it runs from June to September, when the cows graze the high alpine pastures and the dairies are working. Morning visits catch the cheese being made. Avellera schedules the dairy on a day that fits your route through Austria or Switzerland and pairs it with a walk or a lake.

Food, Wine & Craft
12Growers who pour their own wine, in cellars and vineyards you would never find alone. Six countries, and the producer at the table in every one of them.
13In a private kitchen, with a cook who has done it their whole life. Apfelstrudel and Schnitzel in Vienna, Mozartkugeln in Salzburg, pesto above Cinque Terre, Brezel in Munich, pierogi in Poland, goulash in Hungary.
15Behind the workshop door of the great Swiss houses, where movements are still assembled by hand. We open it, and introduce the dealers who hold pieces that never reach a window.
