Guide tips
Itinerary
Meet your guide at Caffè Elena
Your tour begins at Caffè Elena, a 19th-century landmark in Piazza Vittorio Veneto once frequented by Friedrich Nietzsche. Your guide introduces you to the bohemian atmosphere of historic Turin, a time when the House of Savoy transformed the city into a global culinary capital.
Sip a traditional bicerin
Step inside this classic cafe to try the famous bicerin, a layered drink of espresso, chocolate, and milk. You will learn how this secret recipe became a staple for thinkers and writers while admiring the ornate baroque architecture of one of Europe's largest squares.
Discover the art of chocolate
Next, you will head to a cozy venue for a workshop on bean-to-bar production. You will sample six organic chocolates, including the famous hazelnut-based gianduiotto, while your guide explains how cocoa scarcity in the 1800s led to these iconic regional inventions.
Taste the wines of Piedmont
Your journey continues with a professional tasting of two iconic local wines, one red and one white. Paired with a platter of organic cured meats and cheeses, you will learn to identify the complex aromas and scents characteristic of alpine vineyards.
Your tour finishes at Bistrot Turin
The experience concludes at a local bistro on Via Po, just a short walk from the main city landmarks. You will leave with expert recommendations for local restaurants and the option to stay and enjoy another glass of wine in the heart of the city.
