Itinerary
Our tour guide will meet you at the meeting point and will show you the city while tasting all the typical food. The tastings here described can change according to the season and the availability of our partners.
Let's start your culinary journey in a wine bar near the Saint Jean Cathedral, one of the most iconic landmarks of the Old Lyon. Here, you will begin with a classic French aperitif! You will sip a refreshing glass of local wine while indulging in a delicious cheese tasting, with various types of cheese from Rhone region but not only!
Near Place du Change, a small square that reminds of the trading history of Lyon, you will understand why this city is the gastronomic capital of France. The reason is crystal clear if you take a look at the variety of local ingredients, such as charcuterie. Inside a local boutique, you will be guided into discovering some of the most famous charcuterie varieties.
Let's discover the famous hidden passages of Lyon old town: the traboules! These covered narrow streets connect one building to another and were used to transport goods or to seek protection in time of war or fights. And after the discovery of this secret gem, have a seat in a beautiful traditional restaurant, also known as bouchon, and try one of the most iconic dishes of the Lyonnais gastronomy: the quenelle!
The best dessert in Lyon is absolutely the Praluline: a soft brioche filled with tasty pralines, typical candies made of almond covered by a pink sugar coat. You will have a taste of this special dessert in one of the historical boulangerie in town!
You will end your tour near the river, in a bar that's one of the most popular among the Lyonnaise youth. Here, you will have a glass of a regional liquor, made with herbs who were supposed to cure every disease. Come and discover its recipe with us!
