Lyon: Local Specialties Food Tour & Wine Tasting

During this two-hour food walk on the Croix-Rousse plateau, your sommelier helps you experience the neighborhood like a local: you taste and learn rather than simply sightsee.

We meet at the Gros Caillou for a panoramic view over the city, then cross Place de la Croix-Rousse and the Grande Rue, the village's old shopping street. Along the way, your sommelier introduces each Lyonnais specialty as you taste it and tells you the story of the neighborhood's former inhabitants, the Canuts, Lyon's silk weavers.

We choose our charcuterie at the butcher's, taste the famous pink praline at Maison Pralus and select our cheeses at the cheese shop, slipping away from the main street through the plateau's quiet backstreets.

The experience ends at Cave Tabareau with a genuine wine workshop, where you'll learn to look at, smell and taste a selection of Rhône Valley wines, understand their terroir and pair them with the products gathered along the way. You'll leave knowing the capital of gastronomy like a true connoisseur!
