Award winning "From Farm to Table, A Culinary Day in Lyon"

About this tour

Using what you've sourced, you'll prepare lunch-inspired dishes in a traditional kitchen, finishing with dinner and regional wine pairings. This 10-hour experience connects you directly to the people and landscapes behind Lyonnais food culture.

Highlights

• Meet farmers and producers in the surrounding countryside
• Select seasonal ingredients straight from the source
• Traditional Mâchon lunch at a family-run local restaurant
• Private cooking class guided by a professional chef

What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven out to working farms where you can speak directly with growers and understand their methods. After shopping for the day's menu, you'll sit down to a proper Mâchon—the traditional Lyonnais lunch—at an established neighbourhood restaurant. Back in the old town, your chef will walk you through preparing dishes rooted in the region's techniques and the ingredients you've gathered. Expect hands-on work in the kitchen, honest feedback, and the satisfaction of sitting down to eat what you've made, with wines chosen to match each course.
