The experience

The tour starts just outside Palazzo Carignano and moves through Turin's centre, a city built on chocolate-making for centuries. Your guide stops at pastry shops, chocolatiers and cafés where the real work happens: Baratti & Milano in the Subalpina Gallery at Piazza Castello, famous for its gianduiotto made with Piedmont hazelnuts, and Stratta in Piazza San Carlo, which has been making fine chocolates since 1836. The guide knows which stops hold children's attention and where the best tastings are.

You'll taste Stratta's walnut logs and sample seasonal specialties chosen by the staff, then finish with Bicerin, Turin's signature hot drink layered with coffee, chocolate and cream. Along the way, the guide runs chocolate-themed activities that keep kids engaged and satisfy the sweet tooth without turning the walk into a lesson. By the end, you've sampled exquisite chocolate and learned how it's made and why this city earned its reputation.
