5.00I have been to many wine tastings and this was one of the most educational and straight forward I have ever had. Margaret Rose took complex information and presented it with easy to remember tips that made so much sense. I would highly recommend this experience. Don't wait, just book. Viator was also very helpful with communication regarding times and addresses which made this experience even more enjoyable.
If you are considering it, just book now. Worth it!

5.00It’s a lovely afternoon and a great learning experience. Côtes du Rhône has long been my favorite, but I found the Cremant was so spectacular I went home with 6 bottles. So glad we added this to our short stay in Lyon. The walk there is steep, so schedule time to enjoy it. The flat is beautiful; the pictures don’t do it justice.
A unique experience

5.00We had an amazing wine tasting experience in Lyon, thanks to Margaret Rose! She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wine, explaining the different regions, grape varieties, and the unique character of each wine we tasted. I learned so much — not just how to taste, but also how to better understand and appreciate wine. Margaret made the whole experience relaxed, engaging, and truly enriching. Highly recommend this tasting experience, especially with someone as skilled and welcoming as Margaret!
