Turin: Street Food & Wine Tour with Michelin Chef

Turin's Hidden Food Stops, Guided by a Michelin-Trained Chef

You walk through Turin's oldest neighborhoods with a Michelin-trained chef or local food expert, stopping at hidden spots to taste street food, iconic sweets, and traditional Piedmontese dishes paired with local wine. Choose between a four-hour morning experience ending in a wine-bar lunch, or a longer evening journey that concludes with a multi-course dinner at a family trattoria. Groups stay small (6–8 people), and the pace is relaxed enough to hear the stories behind each stop.

Step-by-step itinerary

Turin Street Food Morning Experience

• Taste Turin’s iconic sweets
• Enjoy Piedmontese street-food bites
• Have wine bar lunch with local wine

The experience

The gelateria sits on a corner of Piazza C.L.N., its window lined with chocolate and cream-filled pastries that have been made the same way for decades. This is where the StreetFood D'Luxe Experience begins, not in a restaurant, but at Casa Marchetti, where your guide (either Chef Abram or local food storyteller Cecilia Puca) meets your group of no more than six or eight people and points you toward the neighborhoods where Turin actually eats. You're walking maybe a kilometer through the old town, stopping where locals stop, tasting things that aren't on any menu you'd find online.

The morning option runs about four hours and moves at a pace that lets you breathe between tastings. You'll hit a hidden spot for Turin's famous sweets, the ones tourists usually miss, then move to a historic venue in the old town for street-food interpretations of traditional dishes, the kind of thing that sounds simple until you taste it and realize how much technique is behind it. Then comes the wine-bar lunch: antipasti, a local pasta, coffee, a glass of DOCG wine, and something the chef has decided to surprise you with. It's not rushed. It's not a checklist. The guide talks about why these flavors matter to Piedmont, and you listen while you eat.

If you're going in the evening, the experience stretches longer and gets more formal. It starts with the Merenda Reale (Turin's elegant sweet aperitif paired with local spirits), then moves into either a cheese-and-wine tasting or seasonal aperitivo bites with sparkling wine, depending on what the day calls for. The evening ends at a traditional family trattoria with a multi-course Piedmontese dinner: antipasti, a main dish, dessert, digestivo, and two premium DOC or DOCG wines chosen to match what you're eating. Chef Abram hosts this version himself.

Water is included throughout, and vegetarian options are available if you ask ahead. The walking is easy (relaxed pace, no scrambling), and the meeting point is near Piazza San Carlo, which is central enough that you can get there without a car. You'll get a reminder email 24 to 32 hours before, so there's no confusion about timing or where to show up. The minimum is two people. If fewer sign up, they'll reschedule you or refund you entirely.
