Chocolate AND Italy? A dream come true!
The 17th edition of Eurochocolate will take place from October 15th – 24th in Perugia, Umbria, home of the world-famous Bacio Perugina.
The festival takes place in the historic center of Perugia: Rocca Paolina, Corso Vanucci, Piazza della Repubblica, Piazza November IVth, they’re all taken over by chocolate and chocolate lovers.
The festival is an amazing display of chocolate in all forms, from thick hot chocolate and pastries filled with chocolate cream, to enormous chocolate bars and chocolate cups filled with alcohol.
In addition to exhibits, tastings and chocolate-themed attractions, Eurochocolate World will be back, a special International section dedicated to countries producing cacao. There also will be a brand new section dedicated to equitable and sustainable chocolate.
A crowd favorite is the chocolate sculptures. On Sunday, October 18th, artists will be sculpting five enormous blocks of chocolate and crowds get to eat the chocolate discarded by the sculptors.
Another crowd pleaser is the ChocoFarm, a “spa” dedicated to treatments based on chocolate and cacao.
This is obviously a must-see festival for chocolate lovers!
