Lyon: Local Specialties Food Tour & Wine Tasting

Far from the usual guided tours, this experience is led by a local sommelier from Lyon and takes place entirely on the Croix-Rousse plateau, away from the tourist trail.

As we stroll through the old Canuts district, you'll discover the history of the silk weavers who shaped it, and together we'll choose, from the neighborhood's artisans, the products for our tasting.

The walk ends in one of the city's oldest wine cellars, where a true wine workshop begins. There, you'll learn to taste wine simply, to pair it with the specialties gathered along the way, and even to try deliberately mismatched pairings, so you can discover your own preferences and understand the principles that guide a sommelier.

As you leave, you'll receive a guide to my favorite Lyon addresses, including restaurants, wine bars and places to visit, so the experience continues throughout your stay.
