great tasting - This was my second experience with Hugo and it was a fantastic wine tasting. We did our tasting blind which was a lot of fun! Hugo knows so much about French wine and the setting was beautiful. Don't hesitate to book for a fun experience in Lyon!

Incredible wine tasting experience 10/10 - 10/10 recommend this wine tasting... he was incredibly knowledgeable and well educated about all things wine! He was so interesting to listen to, and made learning about French wine and everything that goes into wine making, very fun! We tried at least 10 wines from around France, fresh breads, cheeses for pairing, and even a delicious dessert. We would wholeheartedly recommend this experience. It was one of the best things we did in Lyon!! Book this experience, you won't regret it!

Incredible wine tasting - We had an incredible afternoon of wine and food at Hugo's charming tasting room in the centre of Lyon. The wine was a fascinating selection from across France, highlighting different appellations, styles and ages. We initially tasted the wines blind, which was enjoyable and thought provoking. The pairings were on point and some of the best food we had in our trip to Lyon. A unique wine experience which we will definitely return too.

A stunning collection of wines that show the variety of the region with all the patience and passion of someone who wants you to take away a great experience. A wonderful day in Lyon chatting as if we were already friends

Wine tasting the way it should be done - Hugo the the event co-ordinator is very knowledgeable and has books and maps to assist in his explanation of the wines that you taste in his new venue. He pairs the wines with an excellent assortment of Cheese and Charcuterie. The wines that you taste are from all over France and from different decades as well. All in all it was a great experience. The family and I loved the experience.

Immersive wine experience with Hugo - An incredibly well-curated wine tour, focused on exactly the winemakers we were hoping to meet. The lunch was delicious, featuring fresh local produce, and the whole day felt easygoing yet enriching. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time with Hugo, whose passion for French wine and culture made the experience truly special. Perfect for wine lovers looking to go deeper and share a meaningful connection with this beautiful region.

Great Wine and Good Company. - Hugo was very knowledgeable. He was very friendly and made the evening very enjoyable. The wine was excellent. We had a variety of wines and there was something for everyone. The cheese was also excellent. The only reason I did not give this experience a 5 star rating is because of the location. The location was upstairs at a closed cheese shop. There was no air conditioning and no windows, and it was a little dismal.
