In evidenza
Our local guide will introduce you to Turin's role in Italian identity and its culinary heritage shaped by 800 years of Savoyard rule. The tour begins at a historic café where you'll enjoy Bicerin, a traditional chocolate drink still loved in 19th-century cafés. As you visit key landmarks, you'll discover the city's history. Next, you will move on to a cozy place, where you will have a lesson about fine chocolate, with exquisite dark chocolate made from just 10% of the world's finest cocoa, all 100% organic and “bean to bar.” You will then sample traditional chocolates like Gianduiotto and Cremino. Gianduiotto, made from finely ground hazelnuts and chocolate, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when cocoa was scarce. Then, you will enjoy a wine tasting featuring two iconic Piedmontese wines, paired with an organic meat and cheese platter. Your guide will teach you about the aromas and nuances of each wine for a professional tasting experience.

5Enjoyable educational experience
Fabio was very passionate about sharing his knowledge of wine and chocolate with us. The upscale chocolate tasting was an unexpected treat
5Fun and informative with top quality chocolate and wine
It was terrific with a very knowledgeable guide - would highly recommend.
5Good chocolate, wine, meats and cheese. We loved it.
Fabio is extremely knowledgeable in wine and chocolate. He combines this with his skills of tasting chocolate, meats and cheeses alongside good wine to give an entertaining and educational couple of hours. His task was made harder by the incredible heat being seen in Italy. We really enjoyed the session and had to try some more of the excellent Roero red wine after he'd left us in the atmospheric Bistrot Turin.
5Eye Opening and Delicious
Really great session with the wonderful and friendly Fabio. Got a better understanding of Torinese history and culture, as well as a great overview of chocolate styles and production. Tasting experience was really special and Fabio's expertise really shone through!
5Fabio is a must do tour in Turin
Fabio was fabulous! He was knowledgeable and informative. He was engaging and all he wanted was to make sure we had the best experience possible. His wine and chocolate selections were amazing and top quality. He made us better understand the complexities of both. Our time with him was worth every penny and flew by. He was the perfect host and a must do if you’re in Turin!

About Turin
Turin is the elegant Piedmont capital below the Alps, a city of arcaded avenues, royal palaces, a famous Egyptian museum, chocolate and vermouth.
Turin was the first capital of unified Italy, from 1861 to 1865, and before that the seat of the Savoy dynasty, whose baroque palaces and wide arcaded streets still define the centre. Piazza Castello holds the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama, and Piazza San Carlo is a grand square with twin churches. The Mole Antonelliana, a tower topped by a spire, houses the National Cinema Museum, and the cathedral keeps the Shroud of Turin.
