Guidekin's take

Ten handpicked French wines with seasonal pairings in a private tasting salon in central Lyon, hosted by a sommelier at a table built for conversation rather than a bar counter.

The venue is marked wheelchair accessible; it is not recommended in pregnancy. 4.92 from 101 reviews at €195 per person.

In our comparison: #7 of 19 in Wine Tours & Tastings, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
