Lovely spring day in the vineyards. - We liked the interactive learning, tasting, and testing. It was a very hands on way to develop my wine tasting approach. We visited two vineyards. One was very large. The other very intimate. Tasted over a dozen wines. All were very nice. Definitely the easiest way to experience Beaujolais when staying in Lyon without a car. And our guides were excellent. We ended up being only ourselves (2 people) on tour and we loved the extra attention.

Can’t say it’s value for money - Visit to the cellar was the most memorable part of the wine tasting trip. The wine tasting experience to the beaujolais vineyard could have been better had their expert accompanied us during the tutorial session.

Half day tour review - We had a good experience on this wine tour. Francois was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Upsides of the tour: -explored 2 different wineries -beautiful scenery on drive Downsides: -we did not get to explore the grounds at either winery. I personally would have liked more education on the wine making process and touring the facility would help with that -the 1st winery was a “self-guided tasting”. Nothing wrong with that if you don’t mind going around to different spouts and trying what you want to try, but personally I would have liked someone pouring the wine and telling me more about it. We did this more at the second winery and the wine was much better there -not much versatility in the grapes you will taste. The region is known for Gamay so you will have a lot of that. Not a full bodied red, more fruit forward and less aged so you will not be drinking deep cabs or anything like that -not a very elevated wine experience. Wasn’t horrible but wasn’t my favorite.

Couldn’t go on tour due to illness - Sadly, wife became ill and we had to cancel last minute. Lost our $$ but we had no choice. Wish the rules were different, but it is what it is.
