Disorganized, destructed tradition
Oct 2022
We planned a trip to Perugia again after a beautiful experience from Eurochocolate 2018. The indoor edition was just a disorganized mess, when you came to Bastia where the Expo took place, you did not have a feeling European festival was around the corner. Nobody navigates us or lets us know where the "ChocoTrain" should depart. We did not have a car and wanted to use public transport. We paid 11€ per adult entrance fee (just to spend more money in the shops). There were so many shops in such a small place, you just wanted to cry and run away. Prices were behind my understanding...After 20 minutes of disappointment we went away trying to find the promised shuttle bus to Assisi (nobody from the staff knew about anything like that). There are small shops in Perugia where you can find chocolate, save your nerves and money and do not go to Umbria Fiere..

Chocolate - Every way you may like it.

This is an annual festival that is a chocolate lover's dream. There is booth upon booth of chocolate creations - drinks, pastries and candy. Fun to see the different combinations of flavors.

Between 14-23 October center of Perugia smells of chocolate - white and dark, stuffed and decorated - all kind you can imagine.

Chocolate & more Chocolate!
Oct 2019 • Family
It was a coincidence that we were in town during the Chocolate fest. We all love chocolate so it was fun for us. One day was enough. Lots of chocolate from all over Italy. I wouldn’t go there specifically for this fest but it was a nice surprise.

Note of merit for international exhibitors
Oct 2023 • Family
This fair has lost a lot over the years. You pay an entrance fee with which you are entitled to receive three chocolate gifts but of absolutely commercial quality. Three pavilions where there are few exhibitors who, despite having paid the ticket, allow you to have a tasting. Most of the exhibitors have highly commercial products found in large-scale retail trade and in food outlets.
The only interesting things are the entertainment offers for children. There aren't many but they allow a couple of hours of entertainment for the little ones.
And another positive note, the area dedicated to international chocolates. I found exhibitors from different parts of the world with very high quality products, willing to let us taste their chocolates. Well, at these stands I bought something truly remarkable. Too bad they are only a small part compared to the rest of the event.

Beautiful ! a fantastic journey into the world of cocoa and chocolate!
Oct 2023 • Friends
I returned with friends because I really liked the one organized outdoors in March... it's a beautiful journey on the theme of cocoa and chocolate! plus many fun activities and also the journey from the cocoa plantation to the factory. the chocolate sculptures are exceptional! It's not true that entry is expensive, a free block of dark chocolate and lots of chocolates which in the end equal the amount spent for entry!

It has always been and is a beautiful event, even now with paid entry
Oct 2023 • Friends
It has always been and is a beautiful event, even now with paid entry, and then they always give you free chocolate which is almost worth the ticket... You can really have an experience of cocoa and chocolate: how a bar is made from the seed of cocoa, but also cooking shows of the most important pastry chefs in Italy who make their recipes live, and the whole area of chocolate from around the world: I stocked up on this type of chocolate!

Real scam!
Oct 2023 • Family
Real rip-off, no exhibition and entertainment options, fair only to buy chocolate at doubled prices, the stands don't even want you to taste the products they sell at tripled prices

What am I telling you?!!!!!
Oct 2023 • Family
Sorry...it's no longer the classic chocolate fair of years ago. You pay the ticket to buy chocolate that you would also buy close to home! They don't let you taste anything... the refreshment points are stocked with spoiled food... just business and that's it!
