Our local guide will introduce you to Turin's role in Italian identity and its culinary heritage shaped by 800 years of Savoyard rule. The tour begins at a historic café where you'll enjoy Bicerin, a traditional chocolate drink still loved in 19th-century cafés. As you visit key landmarks, you'll discover the city's history. Next, you will move on to a cozy place, where you will have a lesson about fine chocolate, with exquisite dark chocolate made from just 10% of the world's finest cocoa, all 100% organic and “bean to bar.” You will then sample traditional chocolates like Gianduiotto and Cremino. Gianduiotto, made from finely ground hazelnuts and chocolate, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century when cocoa was scarce. Then, you will enjoy a wine tasting featuring two iconic Piedmontese wines, paired with an organic meat and cheese platter. Your guide will teach you about the aromas and nuances of each wine for a professional tasting experience.

Enjoyable educational experience
Fabio was very passionate about sharing his knowledge of wine and chocolate with us. The upscale chocolate tasting was an unexpected treat
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback! I am delighted to hear that my enthusiasm for wine and chocolate made your experience special. It’s wonderful that the upscale chocolate tasting was a pleasant surprise for you. Cheers!

Fun and informative with top quality chocolate and wine
It was terrific with a very knowledgeable guide - would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with me as a guide. We appreciate your recommendation!

Good chocolate, wine, meats and cheese. We loved it.
Fabio is extremely knowledgeable in wine and chocolate. He combines this with his skills of tasting chocolate, meats and cheeses alongside good wine to give an entertaining and educational couple of hours. His task was made harder by the incredible heat being seen in Italy. We really enjoyed the session and had to try some more of the excellent Roero red wine after he'd left us in the atmospheric Bistrot Turin.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing this wonderful review! It sounds like I delivered with an engaging and educational session. It's a shame about the heat we're having and I'm glad you still enjoyed it. Trying more of the excellent Roero red wine afterward must have been a perfect way to keep the experience going. I'm happy to hear you had such a memorable time!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your session with me and that it provided you with a deeper understanding of Torinese history and culture, as well as the chocolate styles and production.

Fabio is a must do tour in Turin
Fabio was fabulous! He was knowledgeable and informative. He was engaging and all he wanted was to make sure we had the best experience possible. His wine and chocolate selections were amazing and top quality. He made us better understand the complexities of both. Our time with him was worth every penny and flew by. He was the perfect host and a must do if you’re in Turin!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I truly enjoyed sharing my passion for wine and chocolate with you and making sure you had the best experience possible. It was a pleasure to guide you through the complexities of both, and I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the selections. Your kind words mean a lot to me, and I’m glad our time together was worthwhile. I hope to host you again in the future—Turin has so much more to offer!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Turin.
How much does The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Turin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Turin is not rushed.
Is The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Turin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience?
+
Around 24 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Turin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Turin and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Turin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Turin?
+
On Outty we rank every Turin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Turin: Small-group Walking Tour of Top City Highlights, StreetFood D’Luxe Experience — Tastes of Turin, Turin Gourmet Tour: A Premium Tasting Experience by Do Eat Better. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Turin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Turin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in The Turin Chocolate & Wine Tasting Experience?
