Great tour for wine and vistas of countryside. - Rachel was a pleasant and knowledgeable guide. Comfortable van. Well organized. Beautiful scenery. It was nice to break it up a little with free time to roam in village. Was exactly as described online. It was a highlight. Would highly recommend.

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.

Great wine and tour in beautiful Beaujolais with the excellent guide Clemence - Thoroughly loved the tour. Easy-paced, loved the wine-tasting and the setting by the vineyards in the Beaujolais valley, the visit to the beautiful village of Oingt and the visit and tasting in the winery Domaine de Fond-Vieille . Our guide Clemence was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, answering all of everyone's questions in detail and in understandable language. We cannot praise her enough for her skills as a communicator, guide and wine expert. And an excellent driver also.

A gorgeous way to spend the day in Beaujolais! - Outstanding day trip into the Beaujolais region outside of Lyon. Gorgeous scenery, tasty wines, and an excellent guide. Our guide, Rachel, had led us on a private tour of Lyon the previous day and we were thrilled to see her again for the next tour! She is warm, knowledgeable, approachable, and communicative. I highly recommend this tour!

Compact half-day - This was a really great half-day tour. We had a picnic at a scenic lookout with an overview of wine tasting steps, a quick visit to a charming cobblestone village, and lastly stopped by a small producer to go over the general process in the vinyards and the winemaking process. Our trip ended with a final tasting in a cute little tasting room. I thought our guide did an excellent job of conveying relevant information for the region without overloading us with facts.

Book This Tour! - Booked this tour based on its great reviews and am so glad we did. It was a wonderful experience. It was fun, and we learned so much about the Beaujolais wine region. The countryside is breathtaking, and the tour/tasting stop at the idyllic, small winery was perfect. I could not have conceived of a better afternoon outing. I highly recommend this tour.

Not Worth It - We discovered we are not beaujolais fans. Wine was warm at first stop. The information about the wines could have been much better. There were only 2 stops with tastings. The rest was driving to the countryside and a walk around a village. Views of the countryside was the best part but not for that amount of money.
