Savoyard flavors & local craftsmanship
Gastronomy and Crafts
Here in the Pays de Savoie, we are at the heart of a region rich in flavors and culinary traditions, shaped by alpine terroir and breathtaking mountain landscapes. An ideal destination for food lovers, where every bite tells a story of local tradition and craftsmanship. Here’s a glimpse of the local delights you’ll discover on our journeys:
The region is famous for its cheeses, including Reblochon, Beaufort, and Abondance, which will be on our table! Cured meats, such as dry sausage and raw ham, are also must-tries, often enjoyed alongside cheeses and a good glass of wine. The Pays de Savoie produces refreshing white wines, like Apremont and Chignin, perfectly pairing with local dishes.
Don’t miss the orchards, offering a variety of fruits such as apples and pears, often used in delicious tarts. Wild berries—blueberries and raspberries—are a true treat. Alpine flowers provide nectar for bees, producing honey with a unique flavor. Handmade jams are another delight to savor. Freshwater fish such as Féra, Arctic char (Omble Chevalier or Lavaret), and perch are also local specialties.
During our outings, we’ll let you taste and appreciate all these wonders, while sharing insider tips to guide you to the best addresses!
We also shine a spotlight on the skills of local artisans and farmers. You’ll get to visit workshops that aren’t always widely known: craft breweries, biscuit makers, ironwork studios, sheep and goat cheese producers, snail farms, and medicinal and aromatic plant growers…
