This was one of the best tastings we’ve experienced...We would certainly take this tasting again as learning never ends with wine.

Why book a wine tasting in Lyon instead of a vineyard tour?
Want to truly understand wine—not just sip it?
Whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned taster, our tastings are designed to grow your knowledge.
Winery visits are fun, but they often focus on just one wine style, making it hard to really learn.
That’s why we offer comparative tastings—so you can explore a range of grapes, regions, and winemaking techniques side by side.
By tasting variety, you build a broader palate and deeper understanding. And if you're planning to visit wineries too, our tasting will make that experience even richer.

Will I be tipsy?
You’ll taste a generous amount of wine—how you feel depends on you. We strongly recommend not planning to drive afterward.
