This tasting room was created to provide the ideal conditions for wine tasting, with natural light, a neutral-smelling environment, and a calm, elegant atmosphere.

The experience allows you to discover and refine your palate through the tasting of 10 French wines, each served with a thoughtful food pairing, not just small bites, but a series of seasonal cheeses and others that together form a true culinary experience.

Seated at a communal table, in an intimate setting of no more than ten guests, you’ll be guided by members of a Lyon wine tasting club, passionate and knowledgeable, sharing their insights, with a smile.
