Incredible Visit Through Northern Rhone - Our tour of the Rhone Valley exceeded our expectations in every way. Mathilde was friendly, fun and extremely knowledgeable (not to mention a fabulous driver through some very narrow streets!) She picked us up on time in Lyon at our hotel and off we headed for our first tasting. Mathilde's English is perfect and she is so knowledgable about the region and the wine. She surprised us with a breathtaking visit to the top of Hermitage hill accompanied by a delightful bottle of Rose. Lunch in Tain l'Hermitage was incredible and our final tasting. I highly recommend this company and will definitely tour with Mathilde again when we are back in the area! Thank you for a special, memorable day!

Great way to see the Hermitage and beautiful wineries - Our tour was so good! Our tour guide Raphaelle was very knowledgeable and helped us understand more about each of the wines we were trying. She was a greats table host at the restaurant and helped us feel comfortable with each other (we were a group of 8 people that didn’t know each other). The two wineries we went to were very different from each other and both very passionate and inspiring. We would definitely recommend the tour!

Spectacular day in the Rhône valley - This wine tour was so memorable. I believe that your guide can make or break these experiences and Mathilde really was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the area, the wines, the winemaking process. Plus she gave us lots of great tips for other tours and restaurants in Lyon. She was fun loving and friendly, bringing us a bottle of Vigonier to share on the hilltop overlooking the vineyards. There were two vineyards visited and we really enjoyed the tastings. We also had beautiful perfect weather which helped a lot but overall this tour was well worth the dollars.

The story of wine - A wonderful wine tasting tour. We were not a large group which made this an intimate fun trip. We learned a lot about the work and passion that goes into making these delicious local wines. Our guide Raphael’s was lovely and very informative about the regain. Highly recommend

Good N. Rhone tour - Enjoyed the tour. Mathilde was very good, knowledgeable and friendly. Good exposure to N. Rhone wines. Made me look for them during dinners later in the week. Only downside, Ferraton tour guide was obviously under the weather and probably gave me a sore throat the next day. Minor inconvenience.

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.
