Itinerary
Your tour begins at the chocolate factory in Moncalieri
Your experience starts at a chocolate laboratory just outside Turin's city center. After meeting your guide at the factory entrance, step into the production space where the intoxicating scent of roasted cocoa engulfs you and artisans craft chocolate by hand.
Witness the transformation from bean to chocolate
Step into the roasting room as raw cocoa beans tumble and release their deep, earthy aroma. Discover how temperature and timing unlock hidden flavors, then watch molten chocolate flow through grinders and refiners that transform rough nibs into silky liquid gold.
Marvel at the art of gianduiotto crafting
Experience the heart of Piedmont's chocolate heritage as artisans temper, extrude, and handcraft each gianduiotto bonbon. These iconic hazelnut chocolates, born during an 1800s cocoa shortage, take shape before your eyes as skilled hands mold IGP-certified Piedmont hazelnuts into delicate, wrapped treasures.
Savor a guided tasting of artisanal chocolates
Indulge in a curated tasting that wakes up your palate, compare three single-origin chocolates with distinct cocoa percentages, and taste the richness of velvety gianduja cream spread as your guide teaches you to identify subtle flavor notes.
Your tour finishes at the factory
The experience concludes back at laboratory, where you're invited to explore the on-site shop and bring home fresh chocolates crafted just moments before. Leave with a deeper connection to Turin's chocolate legacy and purchase a bag of treats to take home to make the experience last a little longer.
