Chocolate makes people happy

It is a known fact that chocolate makes people happy. And there are plenty of happy people at the «Chocolarium» chocolate factory in Flawil where visitors can experience first-hand how chocolate is made on an interactive tour. The mystery of chocolate comes alive – it’s a bit like being inside the hit movie «Charlie and the Chocolate Factory» starring Johnny Depp.

Delicate, smooth wines from the Rhine Valley

The award-winning Rhine Valley wines are not only known regionally, they are also popular nationally and internationally. And the winegrowers are deservedly proud of this accomplishment. A few years ago, 24 of them joined together to form the Rhine Valley Wine Association. Their aim is to work together, to learn from one other and to develop new and exquisite wines. The Rhine Valley Wine Association combines innovation with the long tradition of winegrowing in the four countries that intersect in the Rhine Valley. For a fruitful future – like the sloping vineyards of the Rhine Valley.
