Turin Sweet & Chocolate Tour - Do Eat Better Experience

Turin is famous for the chocolate and nuts, but there is so much more to discover! With our Turin Patisserie food tour you will learn about the ancient confectionery tradition of this magnificent city guided by a local expert who will tell you stories and curiosity behind the tastings.

Do Eat Better Experience tours are a mix of high-quality gastronomy as a way of showing Italian culture and lifestyle and a walking experience together with a local friend. This is the reason why we accept small groups only: we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give to each tourist the highest attention possible.

Please, note that the tour is always run in English and Italian; other languages upon request.

In the second stop, you will taste the Bicerin: It is a layered drink made of espresso, drinking chocolate, and whole milk (or heavy cream) served in a large glass. The beverage has been known since the 18th century and was also praised by Alexandre Dumas in his letters.
Another tasting is the Marron glacé: it is a precious confection, originating in Piedmont and consisting of a chestnut candied in sugar syrup and glazed. They were invented shortly after the crusaders returned to Europe with sugar because chestnuts were a very available ingredient in the woods of Piedmont. Marron glaceés were the favourite dessert of the royal family!
