I'll tell you about the Castle and its kitchens is a new special guided tour to discover the Castello di Masino-Bene FAI in Caravino (TO).
A guided tour to discover the reception areas, service areas and historic kitchens of the Castello di Masino, in use until the 1980s and normally not accessible to the public.
A fascinating account of the complex organization of meals is based on books from the library and documents from the Castle archive. Historical sources illustrate the correct mise en place to set the table and list the foods and wines intended for the feeding of the counts and the service staff, the gastronomic products for special occasions, and the specific personalities involved in the kitchen activities: from the confectioner to the supplier of salt, sugar and spices, to the ''sommelier'', to the transporters who also brought products from abroad, such as champagne, to Masino.
The ticket includes free entry to the Park and the Labyrinth and a guided tour inside the Castle.
