Piedmont Wine Tasting in Turin: Four Local Wines with a Sommelier

Unwind in Turin’s heart with a sommelier-led sensory journey after sightseeing

A wine tasting in Turin where a professional sommelier guides you through four traditional Piedmont wines, their terroir, winemaking techniques, and how to serve and pair them. The tasting room sits within walking distance of Porta Nuova railway station, Piazza Vittorio Veneto and Via Roma, so you can stop by after sightseeing without arranging transport. Breadsticks and water are included. The experience runs about 100 minutes.

The experience

Cultura Liquida Wine School sits in the heart of Turin, steps from the railway station and the city's main squares. You arrive at a tasting room designed for the work ahead: sitting down with four carefully selected traditional Piedmont wines, each one a chance to learn how the region's soil, climate and winemaking choices shape what ends up in your glass. A professional sommelier leads the tasting, walking you through the specific features of each wine, the techniques that made it, and how to serve and pair it with food.

The experience is built around discovery, not lecture. You'll taste and ask questions while the sommelier reveals the secrets of Piedmont's terroir: the combination of geography and climate that gives these wines their character. Breadsticks and water arrive to cleanse your palate between tastings, and the sommelier shares practical tips on buying wine and matching it to meals, so what you learn stays useful after you leave.

The tasting takes about 100 minutes, which means you can fit it into an afternoon without reshaping your whole day. The location (within walking distance of Porta Nuova station, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Piazza Bodoni and the Po river embankment) makes it easy to arrive from wherever you've been exploring. The room is wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome.
