Baselbieter Genusswochen (Baselland’s Indulgence Weeks)

Various Locations

The Baselbieter Genusswochen are all about the enjoyment of food and eating and are designed to showcase the richness of the flavors and the variety of a pleasurable diet—a diet where the products, the person who manufactures or processes them, and the area from which they come all have meaning. The event, which this year will span 11 days in many locations around Baselland, has become very popular and well-attended. Its main goals include bringing awareness to the diversity of food and nutritional cultures, increasing consumer awareness of the quality and seasonality of the products, sensitizing young generations to the simple enjoyment of food and eating together, showing the importance of a diverse and balanced diet for health, preserving culinary traditions, promoting culinary innovations, giving recognition to the craftsmanship and know-how, and enabling visitors to discover quality products.
Every year, a “specialty of the year” is selected and featured at the Genusswochen. For the 2024 edition, the apple takes center stage. The apple is not only the most popular fruit in Switzerland; no other fruit can be used in the kitchen in more diverse ways. As a tart, cake, strudel, or puree—the apple can do it all. And that doesn't even include compote, baked apples, and apple rings. But the apple can do even more, and during these 11 days of the Baselbieter Genusswochen, you can taste a single-variety apple juice in Liestal, enjoy a five-course apple surprise menu in Waldenburg, join the apple gala in Birsfelden, or take a guided tour through an apple orchard. The apple, which is a vitamin bomb, is also ideal for savory dishes. The expression "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" is not an empty phrase. All the more reason to celebrate this all-rounder fruit.
During this year’s Baselbieter Genusswochen, select restaurants will be presenting menus where guests will have many opportunities to discover the apple in a variety of creative and delicious ways (https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/entdecken-erleben/genuss-menues). There will also be numerous interesting events are planned around the apple including tours, tastings, apple picking, and courses (https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/entdecken-erleben/genuss-events). Be sure to visit the gourmet market in the old town of Liestal from 8:00-13:00 on Saturday, September 14, with many stands dedicated to apples and apple products, as well as a varied supporting program for young and old (https://www.baselland-tourismus.ch/event-kalender/1077102932).
