CONCEPT

The concept of gastronomy, wine and music, 

combined in a unique artistic and aesthetic experience is a first of its kind in Switzerland. 

Lake Geneva was also a refuge and home for Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Stravinsky and many other musical giants.

The first Chardonne Culinary Concerts, "The Serenade of Seasons", featuring star violinist Alexandra Conunova,  in September 2020, despite the Covid crisis, allowed Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky and Piazzolla to transport you to Venice, St. Petersburg and Buenos Aires.   

 The 2nd edition, in June 2021, entitled, "The Poetry of Spring," presented the soprano and star of the Vienna State Opera, Teodora Gheorghiu, in Richard Strauss' Four Last Songs, Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, Johann Strauss II's Wine, Women and Song, and Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, with the Geneva International Orchestra.   

The 3rd Concerts Culinaires de Charlene was Una Féria de Flamenco on October 15, 2022, with special guest artist,  José Maria Gallardo del Rey and his ensemble.  

At the Grande Salle de Chardonne, guests enjoyed a dégustation of Chardonne wines offered by the Municipality, 

and hors d’oeuvres especially prepared by Mathieu Bruno of the Restaurant "Là Haut." To complete the experience, 

Chef Mathieu Bruno invited only 40 guests to "Là Haut" 

for an intimate and exclusive gastronomic 5 course dinner.  

The next Culinary Concert on September 7, 2025, "Boogie-Woogie Beethoven," celebrates the history and heritage of Chardonne-Mt. Pélerin at the Salle del Castillo in Vevey, featuring the Swiss star boogie-woogie pianist LadyVa with her band, with the degustation prepared by À la Demi-Lune and La Maison Obrist.

Come celebrate with us.  Eat, Drink and Be Musical!
