Itinerary
We start our tour near Giardino Sambuy with a chocolate tasting that introduces you to Turin’s celebrated chocolate tradition. You’ll sample a selection of fine local chocolates, from smooth and creamy creations to richer cocoa flavors, all made using high-quality ingredients and traditional Piedmontese techniques, offering a delicious introduction to the city’s sweet heritage.
Duration: 30 minutes
At the second stop, near Largo Vittorio Emanuele II, you will enjoy a pastry tasting showcasing some of Turin’s most beloved sweet traditions. You’ll sample a selection of classic local pastries, crafted with care and high-quality ingredients, reflecting the city’s long-standing reputation for refined confectionery. Rooted in centuries of tradition, these desserts offer a delicious insight into Piedmont’s rich pastry heritage, once enjoyed in historic cafés and by the city’s noble families.
Duration: 30 minutes
Near Piazza San Carlo, you will taste the iconic Bicerin, a layered drink made with espresso, rich drinking chocolate, and whole milk or cream, traditionally served in a glass. This beloved beverage has been enjoyed in Turin since the 18th century and was even praised by Alexandre Dumas in his letters, making it a true symbol of the city’s historic café culture.
Duration: 30 minutes
We continue with a classic Piedmontese chocolate tasting, where you’ll enjoy either the Cremino or the famous Gianduiotto. The Cremino is composed of three delicate layers of chocolate, with smooth gianduja on the outside and a flavored inner layer that may include coffee, hazelnut paste, lemon, and more. Alternatively, you may taste the iconic Gianduiotto, first created in 1852 in Turin, shaped like a small ingot and known for its incredibly creamy texture, made from a unique blend of Piedmont hazelnuts, cocoa, and sugar, and wrapped in its signature gold foil.
Duration: 30 minutes
We conclude the tour with a gelato tasting in Piazza CLN, a lively and elegant square in the heart of Turin, surrounded by historic buildings and charming cafés. As you savor your artisanal ice cream, made with high-quality ingredients and traditional methods, you can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the piazza and end the experience on a deliciously sweet note.
