A must-do experience

Go beyond the wines everyone talks about… and discover what Piedmont quietly keeps for itself.

Piedmont is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, and wine is at the heart of its culture and identity. If you’re visiting Turin, discovering its local wines is one of the best ways to experience the city and its culture.

Most wine tastings in Piedmont focus on the same famous names: Gavi, Barbera, Nebbiolo d’Alba, sometimes Barolo.

But that’s only part of the story.

Piemonte is home to dozens of extraordinary native grapes and historic wines, many of them produced in small quantities, rarely exported, and unknown even to passionate wine lovers.

This tasting is not about what you should drink in Piemonte.

It’s about what you would never discover on your own.

You’ll taste 6 carefully selected local wines, from Timorasso to Gattinara (a historic and remarkable expression of Nebbiolo from northern Piemonte).

These are the wines locals love, but most visitors never get the chance to try.

Along the way, you’ll uncover the stories behind these wines, the grapes they come from, and the traditions that shape their unique identity. It’s a relaxed, interactive experience designed to help you truly understand what’s in your glass, without overcomplicating it.

The experience is guided by a professional DipWSET sommelier and wine educator, who will make wine feel approachable, engaging, and memorable.

You’ll also receive practical tips on how to taste, serve, and pair wine with confidence, so you can continue exploring Italian wines long after the experience, plus a few unexpected surprises along the way.

Expect plenty of insider advice to help you choose and enjoy wine like a local!

Testimonials

Here’s what our guests say about discovering the world of wine with us.

We had a great wine tasting with Julia. She inspired us with her expertise on the subject and held the tasting in a very entertaining way. All in all, a great experience which we wholeheartedly recommend to everyone who is looking for something special to do in Turin!

Lorenzo Schurmann

Mission accomplished: at my next business dinner, when the conversation turns to wine, I won’t need to hide in the bathroom or pretend to take a phone call.
Thanks to Julia, who in just a few hours gave me the knowledge and confidence to join any wine conversation with ease.

Alessandro Zaghi, Torino

An absolutely fantastic experience: fun, informative, and delicious.
We had a fairly large group and enjoyed a fully private tasting, and the Cultura Liquida team went above and beyond to make our experience truly wonderful.
