About this activity

A MORNING DESIGNED BY A CHEF — NOT A STANDARD ITINERARY

This experience follows the natural rhythm of Turin’s most authentic moment of the day, guided by Michelin-trained Chef Abram.

Rather than a fixed route, the morning unfolds organically — shaped by the market, the season, and the chef’s personal connections. You don’t just visit Porta Palazzo, you experience it from within.

A true local morning ritual

From coffee culture to market life, experience Turin as locals actually live it.

Chef’s inside access

Meet trusted vendors, taste what’s best in the moment, and discover stories you wouldn’t find alone.

Small, intimate groups

A relaxed, semi-private setting that allows for genuine interaction and a personal experience.

A curated yet flexible experience

No scripted stops — every morning is slightly different, keeping the experience real and alive.

A simple, authentic finale

End with a relaxed local food moment, not staged — just honest, everyday Turin at its best.
