Worth scheduling when in Lyon - Great tour with Eddy! Beautiful wine region. Two wineries that were vastly different. One completely organic. Multiple tastes at each winery and cheese and salamis at the second

Excellent experience - This was an excellent experience. Our driver and guide was lovely and the wineries were just a short drive out of Lyon. The tastings were fabulous, as were the cheese and meat pairings. Thoroughly recommended.

An in-depth look at wine tasting. - This wine tasting tour was absolutely exceptional, and the countryside was gorgeous! We met members of two, family-owned wineries who were so delightful. Our guide, Eddy, was extremely knowledgeable about wine, and he gave us more education than we could have imagined about the grapes, the fermentation process, and how to read a wine from A to Z. Between the two wineries, we must have tasted about 10 wines which really gave us a great overview of the different types of wine. This trip is definitely worth your time and money!

Great afternoon excursion - Booked this quite last minute (the morning of).
Great trip from start to end. Pick up and drop off from a convenient location. We ride in a comfortable van, the guide (Raphanelle) is lovely, friendly, knowledgeable, speaks well. We visited two small wineries, trying 4-5 wines at each. Every wine was quite lovely. We bought some to take home with us, but there was 0 pressure or expectation. The first winery also provided a lovely snack.

Great wine tour, fabulous guide - This was a wonderful 4 hour tour into the Beaujolais wine region near Lyon with only 8 people in a mini van. Our guide, Raphaelle, was informative and fun. She gave us lots of information about the villages we drove through and the 2 vineyards we visited. The tastings at both wineries were very generous and the producer delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great half day Beaujolais experience - Drove out of Lyon about 30 minutes to our first vineyard and on the way out Mathilde described the region and the towns we were passing. The first vineyard was beautiful and we were brought down into an amazing cellar to taste the family’s wines. Had the ability to buy them after (card was accepted). The second vineyard was equally as beautiful and we were provided with some delicious cheese and charcuterie to have with the wine. What a great experience, we definitely recommend for beginners and experienced wine enthusiasts!!!

Beautiful experience - This tour is perfect for the people who don’t have a lot of wine knowledge. Eddy was a great guide and funny person. We learned a lot about wine and can’t wait to learn more! Also the scenery is 10/10. For the instagram girlies this is the place to go!
