Wines of Lyon wine tasting in Croix Rousse neighbourhood
Explore the best of the wine country that surrounds Lyon with a tasting of seven wines from Burgundy, Beaujolais, and the Northern Rhône, without leaving the city!
You will be hosted by Caroline a British American sommelière who provides English language wine tastings.
We begin with a glass of local bubbles, Burgundy’s answer to Champagne, before moving on to try three whites and three reds. All wines are chosen for their quality and regional typicity, as prime examples of their origin. While you enjoy your wine, you can sample a platter of local cheese and charcuterie.
You will learn about tasting analysis, local grapes, classification systems, winemaking, and history in this overview of all of the regions that surround the city of Lyon. This is the perfect afternoon for those who wish to discover different vineyards, but don’t have time to drive around for days!
