Cave Tabareau is one of the most authentic wine cellars in Lyon, which makes it the perfect setting for this interactive food and wine pairing workshop.
Without ever leaving the cellar, you'll travel through local gastronomy and terroir glass by glass and cheese by cheese. This is no passive tasting. You'll actively learn to taste, identify and pair wines with local artisan cheeses.
Your sommelier guides you through the surrounding terroirs, explaining grape varieties, estates, soils and microclimates in a way that stays clear and free of jargon. You'll first learn to taste a wine the right way, then move on to the pairings, the good ones and the bad ones alike, so you grasp for yourself exactly why some combinations work and others don't. The workshop builds in stages, from goat versus cow to young cheese versus long-aged, then on to blue. On that final pairing you're on your own, free to think it through and draw your own conclusions.
The workshop is held standing for a sociable, lively atmosphere, and moves outdoors whenever the weather allows.
A deep dive into Lyon and its gastronomy without ever setting foot outside.
