From the bar of chocolate to the glass: an all-Piedmontese flavour itinerary
The heart of the experience is the tasting of Turin chocolate, one of the city's most iconic products. Guided by a local expert, you'll discover the differences between varieties, the history of cocoa in Piedmont and the secrets that make Turin chocolate unique in the world.
Alongside chocolate, the absolute protagonist is Piedmontese wine. Barolo, Barbera, Dolcetto: every glass tells a precise territory, and the expert will help you recognise aromas, structure and character. The pairings are designed to enhance both the wine and the chocolate.
The selection of local cured meats and cheeses completes the picture, offering a complete overview of regional gastronomy. Every product is chosen to create contrasts and harmonies with the wines being tasted.
The guide is not just a sommelier or chocolatier: they are a passionate expert of the territory who turns every taste into a moment of culture and discovery. Their stories make every bite richer in meaning.
The experience is ideal for couples, friends or curious travellers who want to go beyond the surface of Turin. It is a convivial, informal and deeply authentic moment that will linger in memory far longer than any museum.

Useful tips
- Presentati con un po' di appetito: la assaggio è generosa e gli abbinamenti con salumi e formaggi sono parte integrante del percorso, non semplici accompagnamenti.
- Vestiti pratici e senza profumi forti: durante le assaggi di calice e cioccolato, i profumi personali possono interferire con la percezione olfattiva dei prodotti.
- Se sei un appassionato di cioccolato, tour di prima o dopo il Museo del Cioccolato di Torino: l'esperienza acquisterà ancora più profondità e i riferimenti della accompagnatore ti risulteranno ancora più preziosi.
