Perugina Chocolate Factory Tour, Perugia, Italy
The Chocolate House, which was inaugurated in 1997 to commemorate Perugina's 90th birthday, attracts tourists and "cioccolato" connoisseurs from all over the world. The "Casa del Cioccolato" was ranked among the top five places for chocolate lovers by CNN, and The New York Times recommended visiting the Chocolate House while in Perugia.
When you first visit the Chocolate House, you'll begin your visit with a tour of the Perugina Museum, the Museo Storico Perugina, where you'll learn everything from how one cocoa bean is magically transformed into rich chocolate to the origins of Perugina history, from its start as a small workshop producing sugared almonds to its rise to become a chocolate icon and Italy's most adored chocolate maker.
The Perugina chocolate factory will be your next stop. A raised path offers a view of the factory's workplace and assembly line. Visitors watch as the renowned Italian kisses, Baci Perugina, take shape and are able to see the masterful talent of the artisans that create Perugina chocolate. This is an extraordinary encounter that combines a variety of sensations and discoveries with strong smells.
