Itinerary

  1. Turin

    Passing by

    Experience Turin through its rich culinary traditions with a local host who tailors the day to your tastes and interests instead of following a fixed itinerary. Before you meet, you'll receive a short Personalization Form, helping us match you with the right host and shape the experience around your food preferences and travel style. Whether you're curious about artisan chocolate, elegant café traditions, neighborhood markets or authentic local cuisine, your host will create an experience that reflects what you're most excited to explore.

    Along the way, you'll enjoy 8 tastings featuring a balanced mix of sweet and savory local specialties. Because every experience is personalized, the route, tastings and stops may vary depending on your interests, seasonal availability and the pace you'd like to explore.

  2. Piazza Castello

    Passing by

    Framed by grand palaces and elegant architecture, Piazza Castello introduces the refined tastes that helped shape Turin's culinary identity. Here, you'll discover how the House of Savoy influenced everything from the city's celebrated chocolate to its elegant pastries and enduring café traditions. Many of these traditions continue to define Turin today.

  3. Piazza San Carlo

    Passing by

    Known as Turin's elegant "drawing room," Piazza San Carlo has been a place to meet, linger and people-watch for centuries. Beneath its graceful arcades, historic cafés invite you to pause over a traditional Bicerin or classic Italian coffee while experiencing one of the city's most cherished daily rituals.

  4. Via Po

    Passing by

    Stretching from Piazza Castello towards the River Po, Via Po reveals a more everyday side of Turin. Independent bakeries, neighbourhood food shops and long-established cafés reflect the city's daily rhythm, offering an opportunity to appreciate the simple flavours and traditions that residents return to time and again.

  5. Quadrilatero Romano

    Passing by

    The Quadrilatero Romano has long been one of Turin's favourite places to eat, gather and linger. Traditional delicatessens, welcoming squares and family-run food shops celebrate the region's love of cheeses, cured meats and time-honoured recipes, offering a taste of the flavours that have brought people together for generations.

  6. Stop 6

    Passing by

    Overflowing with colour, conversation and the aromas of fresh produce, Porta Palazzo is where Turin's kitchens begin. Europe's largest open-air market showcases seasonal fruit and vegetables, regional cheeses, fresh pasta and artisan ingredients, offering an authentic glimpse into the products, producers and traditions at the heart of Piedmont's culinary heritage.
