Fun tasting time in Cote-Rotie - You should definitely go with Olivier to Cote-Rotie if you love wine! We had a great experience and he knows the local wineries. The wineries are small compared to what I'm used to visiting so he often has to lead the tasting himself but he's an amazing rep for these wineries and took us all around the region. He arranged a great lunch at a wine shop as well where you can drink, sample, and buy. We had a great time, book any of your Lyon tours with Olivier (Kanpai Tourisme).

The Rhone region is an absolute must with Olivier at Kanpai Tours - We took two wine tours with two different agencies. Wow , they were not comparable! We highly recommend Kanpai Wine tours and excursions with guide& owner Olivier Delalande. We visited 3 extraordinary wineries, each one brought a different taste to the palette . Each winery was welcoming, very generous with a minimum of 6-9 different wine tasting of both red and whites. Their passion for their craft and products are felt in their explicit description of the processes of making their own unique wines. The wineries that Olivier chose were smaller family ran business dating back centuries. Olivier is an expert of the region, he is very engaged with his clients and has endless knowledge of the craft. He is personable, kind and made us feel at home. We highly recommend Kanpai Tours. You will not be disappointed.Enjoy and don’t forget your cameras as the sceneries of the hillside vineyards are absolutely breathtaking!!!

Wonderful tour of the vinyards and valley - Even in the middle of winter it was great to visit the vineyards and of course sample the produce! A lovely tour with a friendly guide. Olivier was informative and fun. Also only six of us, which suited me and my partner very well.
