Perfect day and lovely wines!! - Clem was an excellent tour guide and drove us from Place Bellecour to a picturesque overlook where we tasted Beaujolais wines and enjoyed pastries, enjoying views of the surrounding countryside. We then toured the lovely medieval village of Oingt. We truly enjoyed our visit to Domaine de Fond-Ville where we toured the vineyard, the winemaking area, and learned about the history behind the wine. Clem translated Dominic’s French very well into English for our tour group. We enjoyed local sausage and cheeses and loved each of the wines we tasted. We had beautiful weather during our Beaujolais tour and purchased wine to take back home. This was the perfect experience to celebrate my birthday! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Note: This was far superior to our wine tour of the Cote du Rhône the previous day, so if you’re trying to decide between the two tours, I’d recommend this one!!

Relaxing way to learn about wine - Clemance was a wonderful guide. We loved the views, the medieval village, and meeting the owner of the winery (and his dog). The salami and cheese pairings at the vineyard was a nice touch.

Good mix between sight seeing and wine tasting - Very nice tour to a beautiful part of the Beaujolais region. Good mix between sight seeing and wine tasting. I wouldn’t liked a bit more focus on the wine, wine making process etc; but still very enjoyable.

Good for people new to wine tastings. - If you are new to wine. It is pretty good so if you don’t mind a rushed experience this would be a good place to start.
