Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tour family friendly?
Yes, children of all ages are welcome and will enjoy the various chocolate samples provided throughout the session.
What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?
This tour takes place inside a specialized chocolate boutique. Because of the narrow layout of the shop and venue constraints, this experience is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
What if I have a nut or dairy allergy?
Please notify us of any allergies when booking. While we offer many pure dark chocolates, most traditional Turin sweets contain hazelnuts (Gianduja). We cannot guarantee a 100% nut-free environment due to potential cross-contamination at the source.
Is there a lot of walking involved?
No, this is a stationary tasting experience held entirely within the Chocolate7 boutique. You won't need to walk between different venues, making it a great choice if you're looking for a more relaxed pace.
