Organising a hen party, a team-building outing or a birthday in Lyon without knowing what to suggest that is a little different? Vinea Mea’s Wine, Cheese & Charcuterie tasting workshop brings together a group of 2 to 12 people for 1.5 hours, in a stone cellar in Old Lyon (Vieux-Lyon), with 3 to 5 wines presented by a qualified wine merchant. No knowledge of wine is needed to enjoy it.

Why choose a tasting workshop for a bachelorette party or team building?

A successful hen party or team-building event rests on one simple ingredient: a shared moment, away from everyday life, that makes people want to talk and laugh together. Tasting ticks these boxes naturally. The format is seated and convivial, and leaves real room for exchange, since each wine becomes a pretext for an anecdote, a question or a debate about taste among participants.

Unlike an activity that requires physical preparation or prior expertise, the Vinea Mea workshop is open to all levels. The group stays in control of the pace of the evening or the moment you have chosen, while the wine merchant takes care of the content: wine selection, pairings and hosting.

How does the Vinea Mea Wine, Cheese & Charcuterie workshop work?

The session lasts 1.5 hours and brings together 2 to 12 participants in the stone cellar of Vinea Mea, in the heart of Old Lyon (Vieux-Lyon). The programme is built around several highlights.

The tasting covers 3 to 5 carefully selected wines, representing Burgundy, Beaujolais and the Rhône Valley. The pairings match these wines with artisanal cheeses and charcuterie served in generous portions. The sensory exploration guides the group in recognising aromas and terroirs, with accessible explanations from a qualified expert. It is all punctuated with winemaker anecdotes and a few wine games that lighten the mood, ideal for a group that doesn’t necessarily know each other well or that simply wants to enjoy a relaxed moment.

No need to be an expert, just the wish to enjoy a good time together.
