CASA DEL CIOCCOLATO PERUGINA Scuola e Tour Museo Fabbrica
About This Museum
Forget your quiet, hushed museums—this place smells like heaven, or more accurately, a working chocolate factory. The Casa del Cioccolato is a pilgrimage site for anyone who's ever unwrapped a Perugina Bacio. It’s not just a museum; it's a vibrant, living tribute to the sweet soul of Perugia. You walk in and are immediately hit with the rich, warm scent of roasting cocoa beans.
Collection Highlights
The collection is a delicious deep dive into history, from vintage advertising posters featuring elegant ladies to the mind-boggling original machinery used to wrap each chocolate by hand. Don't miss the 'Bacio Room,' where you learn the romantic story behind that famous hazelnut kiss and see how they're made today.
Visitor Information
Book the tour—it's absolutely worth it. You get to peek right onto the factory floor to see modern production lines and finish up in the tasting room, where you can sample wares fresh from the source. Just try to leave without buying all the chocolate from their massive shop; I dare you.
Architecture & Building
It's a sprawling, modern industrial complex that feels authentically Italian—functional and unpretentious on the outside, but housing pure magic within.
