Syrah surprises
Great afternoon learning about the wine region and tasting the wines. Travelled with a good group of other international tourists which made for a fun afternoon.

Must-do wine tour if visiting Lyon!
We had such a great wine tour experience led by Olivier of Kanpai Tourisme! We are a family of seven who were visiting Lyon from San Francisco/Boston and we were interested in exploring the Côtes du Rhône region. The afternoon tour took us through some beautiful sites in the northern part of the region, and we tried Syrahs and Viogniers from two great wineries. It was such an educational, scenic, and fun afternoon. Olivier was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Great guide, amazing wine, and a must do in Lyon
An amazing experience for all wine lovers. Olivier is an outstanding guide. He has a great attitude, fun personality, and all around great person. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in wine but the history of the regions. Not only do you learn more than you can imagine about wine he revels the story of the surrounding regions and historical significance

Perfect experience!
Olivier was a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide and tour operator. His knowledge of the region and wines was impressive. He was very accommodating, punctual and answered all of our questions with ease. He also speaks perfect English which was a huge plus for our group. We all felt that this was one of our highlights of our visit to Lyon. The Mercedes 8 passenger van was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend his tours.

Thanks to Justine! A wonderul and informative tour
Justine was our tour guide, and did such a great job of explaining the wine growing process from start to end. She was one of the best guides I've ever had...attentive, helpful, going way beyond her scope of duty to assist...even making phone calls in French for me, to help with a mix up with another company. Thank you, Justine, for making this a great day. Your information made it all worthwhile.

The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon cost?
+
Prices start at $109 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.
Is The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Original Syrah Wine Tour (2:00 pm - 6:30 pm) - Small Group Tour from Lyon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lyon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Vieux Lyon Cultural & Historical Walking Guided Tour (English), Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lyon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lyon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
