They are fully focused on the culinary treasures of the city and in the development of the local food and wine heritage.

Our design culinary experiences in Turin are created and run by local food experts with a huge, prestigious and documented background and expertise built as specialists in several fields such as food&beverage, event creation and management, travel and hospitality, and of course gastronomy. Plus, they are of course food enthusiasts in love with the city, of which they know all the most interesting and hidden spots – off the beaten path.

In 2018 our design culinary experiences in Turin have been promoted by Antonella Parigi, the Tourism Councilor of the Region Piedmont – who promoted them in occasion of the prestigious Bocouse d’Or Off 2018.

Our designed culinary experiences in Turin are part of the culinary and creative tourism.

Creative Tourism is a new type of tourism, recently theorized and defined by Greg Richards and Crispin Raymond in 2000. They defined creative tourism as: “Tourism which offers visitors the opportunity to develop their creative potential through active participation in courses and learning experiences, which are characteristic of the holiday destination where they are taken.” (Richards, Greg et Raymond, Crispin, 2000). Creative Tourism involves active participation from tourists in experiences specific to each holiday destination. Such as food and wine in Piedmont.

Culinary tourism or food tourism or gastronomy tourism is the exploration of food as the purpose of tourism. It is considered a vital component of the tourism experience. Dining out is common among tourist and “food is believed to rank alongside climate, accommodation, and scenery in importance to tourists.
