Outstanding experience would recommend for all. Our guy was really an expert and official chocolate taster who has graduated from multiple courses. Who knew such a thing. We learned so much about chocolate in the tasting was exceptional. You could then really tell the difference between the chocolates you were trying. Definitely a fabulous experience thank you chocolate7

Loved my experience. Thought it would be more of a walking tour but it was more of a seated, here’s a taste of all the different types of chocolate, the history, and the tasting notes. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and was amazing
This was a great experience. Giovanni was extremely knowledgeable, kind and generous with his time. He walked through everything at a great pace even kept our 2 children under 12 engaged. Highly recommended for a different experience. It was just our family in the experience which I feel added to it overall.
We signed up for a chocolate tasting with a certified chocolate expert and consultant Giovanni Benefetto. We were surprised how much there is to learn about chocolate. Included in the session were tastings of many types and styles of chocolate from various regions around the world with a focus on traditional chocolates of Turin. Highly recommended for chocolate lovers.
The tour guide, also was the owner of the shop, did a great job introducing the varieties of chocolate , the making of premium chocolate and, of course, everyone’s favorite, the chocolate tasting!
Thanks to Giovanni for the fascinating chocolate insights from ‘bean-to-bar’ and all the local spins on the beloved and prized hazelnut!
My daughter and I enjoyed Giovanni and his passion and knowledge so much! This was a great and memorable experience. We tried SO MUCH high quality chocolate, definitely worth the price.
We had a fantastic time with Giovanni at Chocolate7! He was deeply knowledgeable, friendly, and so passionate about his craft. The chocolates themselves were divine and a rich sensory experience. Highly recommend this personal experience if you’re looking for something fun to do in Turin!
Thought this would be the chance to try some chocolate. It was but so much more. I learnt so much about chocolate and realised I’ve never had real chocolate before. Giovanni was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it rubbed off on me. He opened my eyes to the different kinds of chocolate that my choices of and appreciation for chocolate will never be the same again. Thanks so much.
I hadn't done much research on the different providers of chocolate tastings or tours in Turin, but I definitely hit jackpot with his one. Giovanni is not only extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but he is so enthusiastic about the art of chocolate that it's very much contagious. The two hours just flew by! In addition to a rich selection of gianduja from different local chocolate producers, he also has an incredible selection of chocolates from all over the world. Without a doubt the best way to experience a chocolate adventure in Turin. Highly recommended!
Cozy conversation with the expert. Tasting over 30 types of fine Italian and international chocolates while understanding the history behind them
We loved this unique experience from a lover of chocolate. It was a tasting extravaganza taking us on a tour of Turin fine chocolates. Highly recommended.
Excellent! He was so knowledgeable because he is a taster, which is similar to a sommelier for wine but for chocolate. I highly recommend it!
Relaxed environment and encouraged to ask as many questions as needed. Appreciated the offer to try more chocolate but after two hours of tasting, we had to tap out!!
Excellent time- Giovanni gave a history lesson in chocolate and an indepth educational tour in words and in taste of the chocolates of Torino and beyond- absolutely amazing - who knew chocolate could be so complicated!
What a wonderful visit! We got to try some amazing Fine chocolates, our favourite was the creminos. We also tried chocolates from other parts of the world which were both weird and wonderful (goats cheese chocolate, beef jerky chocolate?) Our host was super fun and charming and I felt so comfortable there! Thank you so much! Love from London!
Giovanni was such the chocolate educator, generous with his time and plenty of sampling! We learned so much about the complexity of chocolate and what makes good chocolate and amazing chocolate! Make this tour work with your plans. A small group makes it nice to ask questions and learn, and of course to compare tastings. So fun! Giovanni was a gem and fantastic to connect with. Loves his city!
The shop was small, but filled with all varieties of chocolate. Giovanni was a great host. He was unbelievably knowledgeable and very friendly. Be prepared to sample a lot of chocolate! His English is perfect and he didn’t mind when I tried to use my limited Italian speaking skills. We also laughed a lot. Great experience.
What a fantastic way to learn about and taste fine chocolates. Thanks to Giovanni for sharing his knowledge . We loved the experience in the “chocoteca” . Don’t miss this when you visit Turin
Locally owned chocolate shoppe. Owner is knowledgeable and eager to share chocolate tasting tips. Had lots of tastes of chocolate from Italy and chance to try other world chocolates. Small, cozy setting.
GIOVANII was an excellent host and very knowledgeable about chocolate and chocolate testing. It was all so intimate in his shop. We tried and ate so many chocolates. What a wonderful experience we had.
So much chocolate that we tasted. Guide was an absolute lover of chocolate. Be prepared for a marathon of chocolate tastings!
The proprietor of Chocolate7, Giovanni Benedetto, was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about chocolate! We had a lot of fun and tried chocolate from all over the world. He explained the difference between types of cacao beans, the roasting process, the difference between cacao and chocolate, and what makes a quality white chocolate. I would definitely recommend this experience.
Very knowledgeable guide. With lots of white, milk and dark chocolate from Turin and around the world to taste.
Amazing walk! A pleasant talk about Verona's history and some landmarks that are really interesting.
it exceeded expectations. With a knowledgeable guide, captivating stories, and a well-planned itinerary, it was a perfect way to explore the city. Highly recommended!
Very well directed with a lot of detailed information surrounding Verona’s history, very warm and bubbly environment! Well enjoyed!
Moment of sharing with my daughter for her 20th birthday, we who are a fan of sweets well here we are melting with pleasure of Piedmontese chocolates! Small intimate shop that pays no mine may in which we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. Everything was well explained and the tasting never ended! Great time! We left with a full stomach 😂 Thanks to Giovanni for his welcome his kindness and knowledge translated into French!
Wonderful experience, highly recommended. We were guided wisely and explained step by step how to continue.
I gave it away so it's not a personal experience, but the people I gave it to were really excited! They told me they would recommend it to everyone
A nice and tasty chocolate tasting where I learned a lot – thanks to Giovanni, who was both knowledgeable and committed. A fantastic and educational moment I highly recommend!
Ti renderai conto di non avere mai mangiato vero cioccolato Sentirai perché è nato il gianduia Ti stancherai di assaggiare varie tipologie di cioccolato
Excellent tasting in Turin! Refined chocolates enhanced by the delicate hazelnuts of Piedmont, clear explanations in French and a passionate, true cocoa sommelier. Recommended!
