  • Torino è facilmente raggiungibile a piedi dal cuore cittadino di rilievo storico: approfitta del prima o del dopo assaggio per esplorare i portici di Via Po o il Mercato di Porta Palazzo, a pochi minuti di distanza.
  • Se hai scoperto un olio o un calice che ti ha conquistato durante la sessione, chiedi alla accompagnatore dove acquistarlo: i negozi specializzati torinesi offrono prodotti difficili da trovare altrove.
