The 4 Best Wine Tours in Lyon

1.Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 6 French Delicacies & Fine Wine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 575 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $130Our pick

Spend 3.5 hours tasting Lyonnais specialties with an English-speaking guide such as Nathalie, Oliver, Charlotte, or Ash. Visit a family bouchon, sample cheeses and charcuterie, try pink praline brioche, sip wine and coffee, and explore Vieux Lyon at a gentle pace.

“First, we LOVED our guide, as she was full an engaging host and full of great information (without boring by dates on dates on dates). The overall walking component was very minimal as we remained in the old town and did very few stairs, so great for all ages. My main downfall was the food quality--it wasn't anything special or tasty. Given the price, it didnt seem worth the experience.”

“This was a great half day wine tour outside of Lyon. The first stop was just sharing some wine at a beautiful scenic location. For the second stop, we enjoyed walking around a medieval village. For our last stop, we went to a local family owned winery for a tour and tasting. I would have liked to go to another winery instead of the first stop and I would have liked more time in the village.

“Great experience with Madeline! Super knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. Picked 5 excellent wines for us to try, all from different areas and gave the background on each. Plus the charcuterie board was first class. Highly recommend, much better than visiting a winery or chateau.”
