Casa del Cioccolato Perugina
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
The Perugina factory and museum just outside Perugia. Luisa Spagnoli created the Baci chocolate kiss at Perugina in 1922. Tour the production line, then taste in the café.
Perugia is a chocolate town, and Perugina (owned by Nestlé since the 1980s, but still made in Umbria) is the name. The Casa del Cioccolato is the visitable factory in San Sisto, a short drive from the centre. You book a tour through the website (English-language ones run several times a week), walk the production line, see Baci being wrapped, then end at the museum and café for the tasting. Touristy but well run: organised, fun, and the chocolate holds up. Skip in October if you can't deal with crowds; EuroChocolate happens in town and the place is mobbed.
