YukonJen: Wine tasting hike in Lavaux, spring2019

YukonJen in Switzerland

Food and wine tours with a local

I grew up at mile 906.8 Alaska Highway, Yukon Territory, Canada and now live in Switzerland. I like food, wine, and being outdoors. I develop personal, guided tours, events, and custom itineraries to explore and discover the cantons of Vaud, Fribourg, & Valais.
