Led by Lyon’s Wine Experts—No Driving Required

Skip the long drives and join our team of English-speaking sommeliers for a deep dive into the wines of Beaujolais, Burgundy, and the Northern Rhône—right here in central Lyon.

We’ve handpicked five exceptional wines to showcase the region’s diversity, paired with insider knowledge, food pairings, and stories you won’t find on a standard winery tour.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

The 12 looks like a 19, enter the big wooden door. At the end of the hallway press the button CONNER, and come up one flight of stairs to find the apartment. Please do not be early or late! This neighborhood is on top of a hill, so please take a moment to plan your journey here so you are on time.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

Lyon sits at the crossroads of 3 of France's greatest wine regions. In this 2-hour tasting, you'll explore all of them, led by a professional sommelier in a restored 1800s silk factory loft in the historic Croix-Rousse, steps from the center of town.

Seated together around a table, you'll taste 5 wines selected from small-production winemakers across Beaujolais, Burgundy, and the Northern Rhône. Your sommelier will guide the tasting, but the session is shaped just as much by your group's questions and curiosity. Every tasting is different!

The wines rotate to reflect what's best from Beaujolais, Burgundy, and the Northern Rhône, chosen from small, artisanal producers you won't find in a supermarket. The format is a table, not a tour. 10 seats max, which means you get real time with your expert sommelier, and conversation flows with the wine. We pair that with a board of local cheese, charcuterie, and bread from the neighborhood.

Guests consistently leave knowing things about French wine they'll carry for years, this is our goal! It's what happens when a real expert shares a table with a curious group of people tasting delicious, artisanal wines.
