A certified sommelier leads in plain English with a cheese and charcuterie board between pours. 4.95 from 239 reviews at €99 per person. **Tasting in town?:** For wine in town: five blind tastings with a sommelier, cheese and charcuterie, 2h at €99 per person; English only. 4.95, 239 reviews. Trade-off: No vineyard visit; English only. (last checked September 24, 2026) ## Overview Five wines across four regions: Crémant de Bourgogne to open, then Beaujolais, Burgundy, Northern Rhône, and a wildcard from Savoie or the Jura Led by a certified sommelier in plain English, zero wine snobbery Blind tasting format built for comparison: taste first, reveal after, no wrong answers Hosted in a restored 19th-century silk workers' loft in Croix-Rousse, Lyon's old silk-weaving hill Artisan cheese and charcuterie board with fresh baguette between pours Small group of 10 maximum, and dietary needs (including gluten-free) accommodated with 24 hours' notice ## Before you book - Meeting point: The engraved 12 reads like a 19, - 4 start times: between 14:00 and 17:00 - Age 18+: minimum age to join ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.95/5 from 239 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 99% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Lyon Wine Tastings ## What's included - A selection of local artisanal cheese, charcuterie, and bread, sourced from Lyon's finest producers - Five rotating wines from small, artisanal estates in Beaujolais, Burgundy, and the Northern Rhône ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-25 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point The engraved 12 reads like a 19, so trust the map pin and look for the big wooden door.
