About this experience

Participants will explore Turin's role in Italian culture through its famous chocolate. The experience starts at a historic café, where guests will enjoy Bicerin, a traditional drink dating back to the 1800s. The tour includes a walk through notable landmarks and lesser-known spots. Following the exploration, guests will engage in a chocolate lesson, sampling high-quality dark chocolate crafted from only 10% of the finest cocoa. Traditional chocolates such as Gianduiotto, which combines hazelnuts and chocolate, and Cremino will also be tasted. All chocolates are organic and produced from bean to bar. The tasting includes Barolo Chinato, a wine that pairs well with the chocolates. This experience is suitable for chocolate enthusiasts and food lovers.

Piazza Vittorio Veneto

Piazza Vittorio Veneto is a large and historic square in the center of Turin, surrounded by Baroque buildings, cafes, and restaurants. It is dominated by the Church of Gran Madre di Dio and offers a vibrant and lively atmosphere, especially in the evening. At the heart of the square stands the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto, Duke of Savoy, a prominent figure in Turin's history. Flanked by twin churches, the Church of San Carlo and the Church of Santa Cristina, the square is a stunning example of baroque architecture. Piazza San Carlo is not only a picturesque destination but also a hub of activity. Locals gather here to socialize, enjoy a coffee at one of the many cafes, or simply soak in the beauty of their surroundings. It's also a popular spot for events, festivals, and cultural celebrations, adding to its allure as a dynamic focal point of Turin's city life
