The Turin Vermouth Tasting Experience with Local Food

1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Step into the historic Caffè Elena in Turin, a venue that has hosted illustrious figures like Friedrich Nietzsche and Cesare Pavese. Learn about the rich history and craftsmanship behind a renowned vermouth crafted in a location where tradition is preserved and celebrated.

Created to mark the 135th anniversary, Vermuth Rosso—spelled in the old Piedmontese style—is a liquid tribute to the elegant, timeless soul of this iconic venue. This vermouth embodies the spirit of Turin: classic, yet never predictable.

Taste a Carpano red vermouth and the premium and unique Elena 1889 vermouth and learn about their unique sensory and tasting notes.

The experience also includes a pairing with a selection of authentic Piedmontese culinary delights, including traditional Piedmontese plin dumplings with Grana (parmesan) cream, bread served with butter and anchovies, vitello tonnato (cold veal with tuna sauce) and a delicate "Bacio di Dama" cookie/biscuit made with Vermouth 1889.
