Guided by a sommelier from Lyon, you won't just taste, you'll actively learn. You'll start by discovering a tasting method that gives you the basics to analyze a wine properly. Then comes the heart of the workshop, food and wine pairing, where you'll try good and bad pairings alike to understand, in practice, why some combinations enhance the flavors while others overpower them. The workshop progresses in stages, from goat's to cow's milk cheese, from young cheeses to long-aged ones, and finally to blue cheese. Along the way, you'll explore French terroirs, their grape varieties, soils and climates, explained without jargon, as well as the cheeses that make our region famous. It all takes place in an authentic wine cellar in Croix-Rousse, for an immersion in gourmet Lyon without setting foot outside.

The walk ends in one of the city's oldest wine cellars, where a true wine workshop begins. There, you'll learn to taste wine simply, to pair it with the specialties gathered along the way, and even to try deliberately mismatched pairings, so you can discover your own preferences and understand the principles that guide a sommelier. As you leave, you'll receive a guide to my favorite Lyon addresses, including restaurants, wine bars and places to visit, so the experience continues throughout your stay.
