Eurochocolate 2026
Perugia, from November 13 to 22
The historic centre of Perugia will host the 32nd edition of Eurochocolate, the International Chocolate Festival, featuring a special promotion to visit the Chocolate City, the world’s largest experiential museum dedicated to the Food of the Gods.
“Fate Dolci” is this year’s slogan, accompanying ten days of flavour, creativity and fun, with experiences for all ages dedicated to the world of cocoa and chocolate.
Among the main highlights is the Fate Dolci area by Costruttori di Dolcezze, in Piazza Matteotti, where visitors will discover cake mixes in iconic vintage bottles, magic wand-shaped lollipops and the new CioccolaTau chocolate bar, made with Tonda Francescana hazelnuts from Umbria and dedicated to the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis.
The area will also host Pasticceria Settevalli, offering a selection of chocolate-based desserts and individual pastries, as well as master pastry chef Nicola Antonacci, who will lead special live cooking demonstrations.
Children and families can also visit Fate Lab, an educational workshop at the former Borsa Merci in Via Mazzini, where they will have the opportunity to make some iconic themed products themselves.
