Private home-based food experience
Sustainable Farm Tour & Northern Italian Cooking Class in Asti
Best for: Travelers who want a private, hands-on food experience in a home setting
This experience is the most personal of the three, with a private format and a clear focus on cooking in a local home. You begin with a visit to the host’s sustainable farm land, where ingredients are gathered before moving to the kitchen. The class teaches 2–3 traditional dishes from family recipes, and the meal is enjoyed together in the host’s home. It suits travelers who want more time, more interaction, and a strong connection to local food culture rather than a quick tasting stop.

Guided production and tasting visit
The Turin Chocolate Factory Guided Tour & Tasting
Best for: Travelers who want a compact guided tasting with a factory-style focus
This is the quickest option and works well if you want a focused, guided visit rather than a longer outing. The tour takes you into a chocolate production laboratory to follow the process from cocoa roasting to the making of gianduiotto. The experience emphasizes technique and craftsmanship, then finishes with a tasting session that includes different chocolate styles and a spreadable cream. It is a good fit for travelers who want a structured visit with a clear theme and limited time commitment.
