October in Turin

Fall is high season in Piedmont thanks to the white truffle hunt season and the international truffle fair in Alba. Also the harvest slowly moves from the white to the full-bodied red wines. But what about Turin? What do people do?

Actually, people love to be in Turin in October and November because there are endless things to do and for all kinds of budgets!

The top three events listed below have been taking place in Turin every October and still represent our local soul; to them, please, add the many art exhibits and all the food and wine related appointments that celebrate the harvest.
In fact, 2018 sees the opening to the public of the royal kitchens inside the Royal Palace and the downtown arcades / porticoes, shops and major museums turned into a big wine and food tasting plaza. And some Toret fountains will even be pouring wine instead of water! 🙆
Picture yourselves sipping locally produced wines paired with our local specialties on October 19-28 when you can stroll under the arcades/poriticoes with a glass of wine in one hand and food in the other!
After all, what image best describes Turin as an Epicurean Capital? 😎
