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.

Wonderful Rhône Wine Tour - Absolutely loved this tour and our guide was wonderful! We met at the Lyon tour office and off we went in a comfortable van with 7 of us including the guide
All wines were excellent at the wineries. We made a stop for lunch and again an excellent choice.

Excellent! No notes! - A fantastic wine day trip, with a very passionate and knowledgeable guide, Eddie. Two winery stops and tastings with very informative hosts, delicious wines, and an extra bottle of wine enjoyed with a stunning view of the township. A stop for lunch at the most delicious local restaurant was a perfect addition to the included itinerary. Merci!

Great experience! - Fantastic tour! I loved having a glass of wine at the top of the hermitage hill and overlooking the Rhône Valley. Breathtaking! The wineries were great, people were friendly, and wines were tasty. The lunch spot was just ok.

Whistlestop wine tour - Wonderful views and stunning scenery. Good explanations of grape and wine differences throughout this region. Delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where the food was outstanding.
The trip lacked a historic context for the region, which has a glorious past, and as the guide was also our driver there were long periods in the car where silence reigned. Also the van's AC was hopelessly inadequate and quite uncomfortable for the long journeys.

Pleasant but not worth high cost - It was pleasant but way too expensive. Nice small group but the AC in the van wasn’t working well and it’s hardly a scenic route - you get one nice vista shot. Wineries were basic. Tour guide barely spoke on the drive so you’re not learning much. Lunch not included.
