Wonderful Experience - I’ve been on several wine tours and this was the best! Eddy was very passionate about wine and shared his extensive knowledge in a way that was easy to understand at all levels. The lunch at Assemblage in Tournon-sur-Rhone was off the charts, probably that best meal I’ve had so far, and very reasonably priced! Put this tour on your list of “must dos” when in Lyon.

Perfect ADA Friendly Wine Tasting Day! - We had a lovely day with our guide Eddie! My husband uses a mobility scooter & they created a wonderful custom Rhône wine tasting experience that was ADA friendly. We learned so much about the region, & enjoyed learning more about wines & wine tasting. We also had a wonderful lunch at a winery. Eddie was so helpful & knowledgeable. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning & dropped off at the train station which made our day so easy. The history & country side was amazing. Look forward to going back someday.

Delightful wine tour in the picturesque Rhône Valley - The tour guide, Eddy was very informative and took us to two wineries in scenic surroundings where the history, methods and wine-making philosophies were explained. We really enjoyed the day and meeting other people on the tour.

Nice tour in norhtern Rohne - Two good visits att 2 nice wineyard in norhern Rohne. Very good guide and very good tastings.
On the bad side: We did not understand that lunch not was part of the price until we met our guide. The lunch also took a very long time. That led to the tour was almost 8 hours instead of 6-7 hours.

Wine in the Northern Rhône - Even though the weather was terrible, we had a good time and a great lunch. The first winery visited was great, the second did not live up to a 150 euro trip charge.

Too long of a day for very little wine - Wine was ok at best and the tour is all day. crazy to hit only two wineries in an all day tour. first place we went to was a tasting room which had decent wine, but wasn't the vibe we went on the tour for - we expected to be on a vineyard. The next place we went had an incredible view at the top of this hills in the vineyards where we enjoyed some rose. we then went and had lunch in town. the lunch took 2 hours with everyone else on the tour, and there wasn't an option to do our own thing. Would have been great if we could eat on our own and explore the town more since we were there for 2 hours instead of being stuck and paying for food my wife didn't care for. the last place we went was a vineyard with wine i frankly didn't care for... mind you it seems like the places we went weren't using a lot of oak and were aged in cement or steel. If that's your style then great, but i like bold rich with deep tanins and i know northern rhone can provide that, but sadly we didn't go anywhere with that. I wish I just looked up vineyards and drove myself. the tour ended two hours late as well and we didn't have an afternoon to explore lyon like we expected. The most unfortunate thing - we barely drank any wine! The tastes were TINY.
