Runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday by reservation.
The Aperitour at Historic Cafes with Vermouth is a guided tasting visit in the city centre of Turin, in Piedmont, Italy, run by Guida Turistica Torino, a local licensed-guide business, and sold through the Turismo Torino booking site. Turin is the home of modern vermouth, and the 19th-century cafes of the centre were the places where the drink and the aperitivo habit became popular. The tour combines a guided visit of several of these historic cafes with a tasting. The meeting point is not stated on the listing and is supplied on booking, within central Turin, and the operator page does not state the duration. The programme runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday by reservation. The balance is drink-led with light food. Guests taste either three vermouths served neat or one vermouth plus a cocktail, and the tasting is accompanied by four Piedmontese snacks and a sweet. This makes the experience closer to an early evening aperitivo than a full meal, so visitors who want dinner should plan one afterward. The price is from EUR 60 per person and covers the guided visit, the drinks and the snacks. Transport and extra drinks are not included. The guide leads the tour, and the operator can be contacted by email at info@guidaturisticatorino.com or by phone at +39 345 387 7167 for language options, group size and dietary needs, none of which are stated on the listing. Because the tour involves alcohol, it is aimed at adult visitors, and guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should discuss the snacks in advance. The tour suits visitors interested in Turin's cafe history, architecture and vermouth tradition, with a guide who explains the context of each venue rather than just serving drinks.
