Turin Street Food Tour: Michelin Chef, Sweets & Wine Tastings

Summary

Turin’s flavors with chef stories, sweet stops and local wine

You’ll wander Turin’s lively neighborhoods tasting artisan chocolate, award-winning pizza, and Piedmontese classics with a Michelin-trained chef or local storyteller guiding you. Expect laughter over shared antipasti, stories behind every dish, DOCG wine pairings, and moments that feel more like joining friends than following a tour group.

What’s the experience like?

We zigzagged through Turin’s old streets, dodging bikes and the odd Vespa, following Chef Abram’s easy stride. He greeted people by name — I guess that’s what happens when you’re a regular in these parts. Our first stop was tucked behind a faded wooden door, where the smell of chocolate hit me before my eyes adjusted to the dim light. Cecilia handed me something called “gianduiotto” — I probably said it wrong, but she just smiled and told me Turin takes its chocolate seriously. It melted instantly on my tongue, rich but not too sweet.

I didn’t expect to laugh so much on a food tour. At one point we tried Roman-style pizza with toppings I’d never seen (pear and gorgonzola — trust me). The dough had this chewy edge that made me want another slice even though I was already full. Chef Abram explained why his favorite bakery uses flour from just outside the city; he even showed us the flour bag like he was showing off a trophy. There was a moment over antipasti at a tiny wine bar when someone spilled their glass (not me for once) and everyone just shrugged and kept chatting — no fuss, just more laughter.

The evening version ended at this family trattoria where the owner poured us DOCG Barbera like we were old friends. The pasta was simple but perfect, with sage that smelled almost grassy in the steam. I caught myself slowing down to listen to Cecilia tell some story about her grandmother’s Sunday lunches — you could hear the pride in her voice. By dessert (a hazelnut cake I still think about), the city lights outside looked softer somehow.
