Lyon wine and cheese pairing workshop with a sommelier

Guided by a Lyon sommelier, you don’t just taste: you learn actively. First the basics to analyze a wine correctly then the heart of the workshop, the food and wine pairings. You test both good and bad chords to understand for yourself, concretely, why some combinations sublimate and others destroy. The workshop progresses in phases: goat versus cow, unripened cheese versus long ripening, then blue, where you are completely autonomous to reflect and slice alone. Along the way, you explore the French terroirs with grape varieties, soils and microclimates explained without jargon. Standing, friendly, outdoors as soon as the weather allows, all in an authentic cellar of the Croix-Rousse. An immersion in gastronomic Lyon without setting foot outside.

My partner & I booked...

My partner & I booked this activity on our last day in Nice and it was most definitely my favourite part of the holiday. Rebecca & Laurent were so welcoming and provided an amazing service. Rebecca spoke amazing English. After we finished making and eating a beautiful dinner, we spoke for hours. A beautiful home with a beautiful view. I cannot thank them enough for providing this great experience.

Katie helped make this...

Katie helped make this such a fun experience! My daughter (10) and I loved learning about the history of the bread culture in Paris and how some of the iconic items are made. You get to go behind the scenes and of course get to try making some yourself. Afterward grab some cheese to go with your fresh bread and have a picnic. Definitely worthwhile!

So much fun!

Rosalie was great! Very patient and kind, especially with the kids (12 year old girl and 11 year old boy) and a very hot day (not good for making butter croissants)! The pastries were delicious and you walk away with plenty to enjoy. One of the top 5 things we did while in France.

An incredible baking class!

This class was a dream for anyone who loves cooking or baking. We learned so much about the culture and history of praline and other local dishes in Lyon. This was such a unique way of experiencing local cuisine and I will remember this trip for a lifetime. Thierry was delightful and put so much energy into the class. We had so many goodies to enjoy afterwards and to bring home as souvenirs. I would absolutely recommend this class as a way to experience Lyon hands-on!

Great baking class

The class is wonderful. Pierre was our instructor and he explained a lot about the professional bakery and equipment. We learned how to form a baguette and make a financier. Best yet, we were able to bring our baked goods back with us. We were also taught how to properly roll a croissant. It is a very hands on class and Pierre will answer any questions you might have.

Amazing Sweet Crêpe Cooking Class Paris

Catherine_S, June 2026

Don't miss this experience!!

This is a MUST DO while in Paris! Stephane is an expert crepe chef, and now, so are we!! His enthusiasm for his craft is evident and the entire experience was extremely entertaining and incredibly informative! All three generations in our group (ages 18, 51 and 78) truly LOVED this experience and the delicious crepes that we created! Plan your travel as Montmatre can be tricky to navigate from the heart of Paris. Also, plan to be there all 3 hours(or a bit more). You won't want to leave a minute early! We cannot wait to make crepes for all of our friends now that we are home! If you are going to Paris, put this on your list!!

Paris Evening Cooking Class French Dinner and Market Visit Option

“The art of French cooking”

My husband and I always take a Cooking Class when we travel to different countries. Paulo was our chef who guided our class through out the evening. He was very knowledgeable in the art of cooking and taught us a few different techniques which we did not know in all our years of cooking. Also, the market we were supposed to go to to buy the foods was closed due to a holiday in Paris. He was quick on his feet to find a different market, which was even better than the one we were supposed to go to. We had a very enjoyable evening, Met new friends, and our dinner was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.

Paris Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

Jane_B, May 2026

A very fun informative day with Frederic

We had time to kill before an evening flight and signed up for the cooking lesson (would have liked to go on the market tour before hand but couldn’t get there in time). Frederic was so much fun and taught me so much even though I consider myself a good cook. We participated in all three courses: sautéed mushrooms; salmon with beurre blanc, scalloped potatoes with lots of nutmeg, and glazed carrots and cucumber balls; and a poached pear with chocolate sauce and home made vanilla ice cream. Rarely have I seen people make cooked cucumbers which I do love. Fredric was not only knowledgeable about the food and wine but also fielded questions that we posed that were all over the board. He imparted a sense of French cooking as well as wine by region. He had a good sense of humor and made the day very entertaining. I learned new techniques in regard to how to use a whisk properly to make an emulsion as well as how to properly layer scalloped potatoes. Because of his personality, the time went too fast, but we left we a full stomach and gratitude for our day with Frederic.

She was very knowledgeable and excited to share her knowledge of French pastry which was not confined to macarons. My 10 year old loved it and was so proud of her macarons she shared them with her friends at school when we returned home. Thank you for providing such a great experience.

French Baking Class in a Local Montmartre Bakery

Cheryl_R, Jan 2026

Great lesson in the history of French Baking.

David shared such wonderful history about the Baguette, Financier, and the croissant. He was super patient with letting me ask many questions and he took the time to answer them all. You will get covered with flour, so should wear layers, with a short sleeve shirt underneath. This is a working bakery, which is advertised as a plus, as opposed to taking a class in a school. It is fascinating to learn about the history of this particular bakery and how it operates. The downside, of being in this setting, is that the baking area is quite small. Fortunately, my husband and I were the only two taking the class. I am very thankful that it was not cancelled! Honestly, I cannot imagine how the area can fit 8 people, with each being able to get "hands on" experience. Speaking of hands on. Note that this is a working bakery that turns out 600 baguettes each day. The dough we use has already been mixed and kneaded and proofed. So, you will not learn how to knead dough. You will learn how to shape the baguette and the croissant. We did actually make the financier! And they were delicious! As was the hot baguettes, fresh from the oven. Since it was the two of us, we had the very good fortune of leaving with a bag of financiers and baguettes! Although they almost didn't make it to the metro station lol
