GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – A perfect weekend for wandering in and out of the many food and wine events throughout the country: 18-28 September is Switzerland’s Semaine du goût (La settimana del gusto, Die Genussswoche) 2014.

Most of the country will have temperatures Friday and Saturday ranging from 11 to 21C, slightly cooler in the mountains. Some sunshine mixed with occasional showers. Rain will become heavier and more frequent on Sunday, especially around Zurich and in parts of eastern Switzerland.
