Very nice tour and wine experience
Very nice tour with Olivier. Well organized, everything as planned and on schedule. The minibus was nice and comfortable Olivier shared at lot of his knowledge about the wines, grapes, terroirs, producers etc. The tasting was nice, informative and with good examples of different wines from the northern Rhône area. Olivier also has a great knowledge of the area in general and it’s history . If interested in wines we strongly recommend tours. Poul, Lisbeth and Louise, DK
Response from the operator: Thank you very much to the 3 of you. It was a pleasure to guide you. Merci. Olivier

The only choice for wine tours in Lyon!
My family can’t rave about this tour enough! Olivier brings expertise to the table that few tour drivers can provide. Having a background in wine, but not the region, I had many important questions regarding production in the area! Olivier was such a great resource for Rhône as a whole, in addition to each specific producer we visited! Plus, he made our travel to and from the vineyards effortless!

Very Good Tour
Oliver was very knowledgable and personable. We tried many good wines and had a lovely day. Highly recommend.

The Original Syrah Wine Tour (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours from Lyon cost?
+
Prices start at $124 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours from Lyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours from Lyon?
+
Around 1 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 (9:00 am - 1:30 pm) - Small Group Tours 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, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. 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.
