Lyon: All-in-One Wine & Specialties Tasting with a Sommelier

Lyon in one moment, in one of the city’s oldest wine cellars. In this class, taste like a sommelier, find wine easier than you think, and pair it with local specialties through hits and misses.
Lyon has been called the capital of gastronomy for generations, yet most visitors leave having tasted only a fraction of it. This experience gives you the whole of it in a single moment with the wines, the specialties that define the city and, above all, the understanding of why they belong together.

Your host is Louis, a local sommelier who grew up in his family’s butcher shop. He learned the value of artisanal food behind the counter long before earning a master’s degree in wine in Burgundy, and that is the spirit of this tasting: honest products, chosen with care, explained simply. Every specialty on the table comes from local artisans, the kind of authentic food that tourist restaurants rarely serve.

Seated around one table in one of the city’s oldest wine cellars, with no more than eight guests, you will learn wine through a method Louis has built himself. His own learning sheets and an aroma kit guide you step by step, so that within minutes you can describe a wine with confidence. The aim is not to turn you into an expert but to show you that wine is far easier to understand than you think.

You will then travel through the vineyards that surround Lyon without leaving your seat, matching each wine with an iconic Lyonnais specialty. Some pairings will delight you; others are deliberately wrong, so that you taste the difference for yourself and understand what makes a pairing work. These hits and misses turn a pleasant tasting into a lesson you will use long after your trip.

By the end of the session you will know how to taste a wine, how to choose one to match a dish, and which specialties make Lyon’s cuisine unique. You will leave with Louis’ learning sheets and his personal recommendations of restaurants, wine bars and places to visit, so that the rest of your stay continues in the same spirit.
