After Ski “The Swiss Way”
Terroir Suisse collaborates with the Schürch brothers in Rothenburg, where the family has been running their award-winning distillery since 1929, spanning four generations. Fruits are harvested with great care to preserve the local tree population.
Eau de Vie à la Terroir Suisse
The countries in and around the Alps have a strong and vibrant culture around Eau de vie, a natural element in connection with food and celebration. The pure and natural Alpine environment creates a unique character, personality, and distinctiveness, resulting in a strong expression of its terroir.
When we developed our selection, the goal was to convey the entirety of the culinary experience that the Swiss are so famous for. A fondue without Kirsch, After-ski without Williams, or a coffee drink without Pflümli is never quite as good as one hopes for.
In close collaboration with one of the foremost distilleries, we have crafted three varieties that form the cornerstone of Swiss spirits culture. Zum wohl!
Our range
Kirsch comes in as many variations as there are alpine villages, and with 350 different cherry varieties to choose from, no Kirsch is the same as another. Our Kirsch has a fresh and floral taste.

Pflümli is distilled from the sweet Löhrplum, giving it an irresistible, mild, and balanced marzipan flavor.

This queen of the Alps is distilled from the finest Williams pears – the result is a fantastic Eau de Vie. Mild with a distinct fruit flavor, considered by many as one of the finest spirits overall.

Schümli Pflümli
Schümli Pflümli. A Swiss classic among coffee drinks. Hottest during After-ski, a comfort on a cold winter day, a winning dessert on a summer evening after the sun has set, Schümli Pflümli is always a good idea.
Preheat a glass 1.5 cl Simple syrup (1 part Muscovado/1 part cane sugar/1 part coffee) 5 cl Pflümli Terroir Suisse Selection Fill up with coffee Shake or whip cream until it thickens slightly, spoon over the top Totaling approximately 17 cl

Collab with Guilty Pleasure Umeå
Guilty Pleasure, led by Karl-Martin Edin and the team, has created its own culinary universe with extraordinary experiences, spiced up with a cocktail culture that resonates throughout the country. With a background at DUÅ’s legendary “hidden boutique bar Open/Closed” and crowned Sweden’s best bartender in 2015 in Diageo World Class, he is firmly anchored as one of Sweden’s foremost.
New stars are rising in Umeå, most recently Olivia Hermansson, who will represent Sweden in Diageo World Class “New Modern Classic” in São Paulo.
We are delighted and proud of our collaboration, resulting in a number of reinterpreted classics and signature drinks, all based on our Eau de vies. Get inspired and enjoy, see recipes below!

Toni Schürch - our producer
Toni Schürch and his brother Stefan operate one of Switzerland’s premier distilleries just outside of Lucerne in central Switzerland, founded in the finest craftsmanship tradition.
The close collaboration with local farmers, spanning generations, ensures access to excellent fruit. The quality of the fruit, coupled with craftsmanship and care for the local, has created a taste experience beyond the ordinary, something that has been recognized with numerous awards.
After Ski - we bring the feeling to the mountains (or the city)
Maybe you have your own memories of a successful After Ski down in the Alps? Now we bring the culinary Alps to the Swedish mountains.
With our Terroir Suisse Selection, you can offer your guests an authentic Swiss After Ski. We have the drinks. We have the cheeses. We have fantastic fondue, and we have award-winning raclettes. Each one is exquisite on its own. Together, they turn classic meals like fondue and raclette into gastronomic highlights.
See you the Swiss way – in the Swedish mountains, in the hustle of the city, or at home. En guete!
PS. The video is from an After Ski event we organized with Restaurang Kajen in Nacka, Stockholm. Furthermore, we’ve done similar events when the Swedish Alpine Ski Team celebrated 25 years with Audi and when Skiershütte had their customer evenings. Always a lot of fun!
Swiss After Ski as a concept
Who doesn’t love an After Ski, and what could be better than the Swiss version? We’ve organized several events on this theme and can only say how well it usually turns out.
If you have thoughts on this and want to discuss ideas on how it could be implemented in a restaurant setting, email us at info(at)terroir-suisse.se, and we’ll have a chat. With our partner Gastro Import, we can offer everything in delicacies, accessories, and drinks.
