Venchi, the iconic Italian gourmet chocolatier and gelato maker, has opened its first UK airport store at London Gatwick, offering passengers an elevated taste of Italy before they fly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The artisan boutique, located past security in London Gatwick\u2019s North Terminal departure lounge, officially opened its doors on 11 December, offering passengers a curated selection of treats ahead of the Christmas getaway period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 1878, Venchi combines more than 145 years of chocolate-making expertise with high-quality, all-natural ingredients to craft its renowned artisan chocolates and creamy gelato.<\/p>\n

Passengers can indulge in more than 20 flavours of authentic Italian gelato, freshly prepared each day in the in-store gelato lab, alongside hot chocolate, gelato shakes and gourmet coffee.<\/p>\n

Inside the store, Venchi\u2019s iconic chocolate bar wall, displays of artisanal Brutto & Buono slabs and seasonal gift collections.<\/p>\n

The store also features a My Venchi Mix station, where passengers can create their own chocolate assortment from 40 varieties, including favourites such as Chocoviar, Gianduiotto and Cremino – perfect for gifting this Christmas or enjoying before your flight.<\/p>\n

Venchi\u2019s launch follows the recent opening of Discover London<\/a>, a premium souvenir and gifting shore that showcases the best of the capital.<\/p>\n

Stephane Geffroy, Head of Retail at London Gatwick, said: \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Venchi to our North Terminal – another first for UK airports following the opening of Gail\u2019s in the South Terminal earlier this year, and a testament to London Gatwick\u2019s commitment to offering a unique experience before the flight.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether passengers are picking up a last\u2011minute Christmas gift or treating themselves to Venchi\u2019s iconic flavours, the new store enhances our retail and food and beverage offering, supporting our vision to be the airport for everyone, whatever their journey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
