Aeschbach Chocolatier AG — Attraction in Root

The Most Exquisite Chocolate Experience of My Life

Aeschbach Chocolatier is truly a masterpiece of Swiss craftsmanship. This isn’t just chocolate—it’s edible art. The moment you take your first bite, you know you’re experiencing something extraordinary. Each piece is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans, and their dedication and expertise shine through in every detail.

The texture is absolutely divine—rich, smooth, and velvety, melting perfectly on the tongue. The flavors are exquisitely balanced: not too sweet, never overpowering, just a perfect harmony that awakens the senses and lingers beautifully. Whether you’re sampling their classic pralines or more adventurous creations, every bite is a new revelation.

Visiting the chocolate factory itself is an unforgettable experience. You can sense the passion behind the process, and the quality speaks louder than words. I’ve tasted fine chocolate from around the world, but nothing compares to Aeschbach. This is chocolate at its highest level—a true celebration of taste and tradition.

If you love chocolate, or even if you just think you do, Aeschbach will redefine what that means....

We went here, not for the restaurant, but for the chocolate factory tour! This is the third one I've been to in Switzerland and I would rank it 3rd out of the three: Cailler Chocolate Factory and Frey Chocolate Factory are #1 & #2. It was still really nice, however! Not busy at all, and very well done. Lots of chocolates to sample along the way. I loved looking down from the floor where we stood through a see-through floor panel that allowed us to see the workers processing chocolates and candies. I think that was my favorite part! We also had the chance (you pay extra) to make our own chocolates... White, milk and dark chocolate choices and lots of different toppings. It was fun! Also, super easy to get to with the train. The station is literally across the street. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because their gift shop/chocolate shop was a bit disappointing. I'm used to these factories having walls of their chocolate bars, but this chocolate company makes more specially chocolates, so it was like going to See's Candy; which is still great! Just not what I expected or desired. We did have fun as a...

Terrible experience. We went there specifically for the chocolate decoration, then after we had bought our entry tickets and asked if we can get the chocolate decoration too, we were told that there are no spaces because a large group is coming later and they reserved beforehand, but we couldn't reserve online because only big groups can.

The chocolate decoration is the only thing worth doing in the museum, the rest is quite small and not note worthy. But you have no way of guaranteeing that you'll get a spot beforehand and we only found out that we can't get a spot after we had bought our regular entry tickets. The employee didn't mention this when they sold us the regular ticket which I think is not good. They should be alerting customers that they won't be able to do the decoration.

Avoid going in the weekends unless you're in a big group and manage to book chocolate decoration beforehand. Otherwise, it's not worth the visit. Chocolate decoration is an additional 10CHF which we would've happily paid, without it, the 15CHF for the regular entry is not good value for...
