Experiences to live, not just to watch.
With friends, as a couple, with family or for a birthday: four ways to discover wine and the Lyon table, always full of energy and never snobbish.
Lyon: culinary tour of local specialities & wine workshop
75 € / personne
Spend two hours discovering the Croix-Rousse like a true Lyonnais, with me, a local sommelier, as your host and guide. On the hilltop plateau where the silk-weavers once worked, locals still shop, have a drink and enjoy life.
Your walk starts at the Gros Caillou, the panoramic viewpoint at the top of the hill. From there, we cross the Place de la Croix-Rousse and stroll past café terraces and the quiet rhythm of neighbourhood life. This is a tasting walk, not a museum tour: butcher, Maison Pralus (praline rose), fromagerie — you pick, you taste, I explain.
The walk ends at Cave Tabareau, a beloved local institution, where the experience becomes a hands-on wine workshop. I guide you through a tasting of Rhône and local wines, teaching you how to read a glass and build your own Lyon board from what you picked along the way.
- Guided walk on the Croix-Rousse plateau
- Charcuterie tasting at the local butcher
- Praline rose at Maison Pralus & cheese at the fromagerie
- Rhône wine tasting workshop at Cave Tabareau
- Food & wine pairing with your own Lyon board

Private tasting with your sommelier
dès 60 € / personne

- A prior chat to pin down your taste and the occasion
- Bespoke wine selection, guided by your sommelier

Wine tasting & pétanque workshop
50 € / personne
The Lyon apéro at its liveliest. At Cave Tabareau, we start with a guided tasting of Rhône Valley wines, paired with boards of regional charcuterie and cheese. The sommelier puts you on the trail of grapes, estates and pairings, never any jargon.
Then everyone heads down to the cellar's court for a game of pétanque, tournament-style. Played outdoors, ideally in spring, summer and early autumn.
- Guided tasting of Rhône Valley wines
- Boards of Lyon charcuterie & cheese
- Intro to grapes, terroirs and pairings

Wine & cheese pairing with a sommelier
45 € / personne
A journey through Lyon's gastronomy without leaving the cellar. Glass after glass, cheese after cheese, you explore the terroirs around Lyon: Beaujolais, Northern Rhône (Syrah, Viognier) and Bugey. Each wine is matched with an artisan cheese chosen to elevate it, while the sommelier reveals grapes, soils and microclimates and teaches you the keys to the perfect pairing.
The workshop is held standing up, for more energy and exchange, and moves to the terrace whenever the weather allows. You leave with your personalised pairing card.
- Wines from Beaujolais, Northern Rhône & Bugey
- An artisan cheese chosen for each wine
- The keys to food & wine pairing, no jargon
- Personalised pairing card to take home
