This Swiss specialty food store is so photogenic, each section looks like it could appear in a print ad. A combination butcher, wine, dairy, produce and general grocery shop, Terre Vaudoise is a picturesque [boutique gourmet food retailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quince-gourmet-food-wines) that boasts an impressive layout and merchandising by Swiss design firm ZAP Design.

A highlight of Terre Vaudoise is its produce section, which mimics the wooden stalls of a farmers market in its display of fresh, vibrantly colored fruits and vegetables. Above the produce stall hangs is a wooden rail from which hangs a selection of [cured meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coro-foods). The [clean, refined wooden stalls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-venetas) serve as a reminder of the emphasis of the Swiss specialty food store on high quality, all-natural ingredients.
