• Vergisson - Our first wine stop in Mâconnais, where only white wine is produced. Depending on your interests, we’ll either visit a wine producer, a winery, or simply open a bottle in the vineyards.
• La Roche de Solutre - This small hill was used by prehistoric natives to hunt, driving wild animals off the cliff. It’s also a significant site for the French resistance. Depending on your interest and physical condition, we can hike to the top, which is an easy 30-minute walk.
• Solutre-Pouilly - One of our favorite spots in the Mâconnais region. We’ll either visit another wine producer or enjoy a wine tasting with a professional. This village is as charming as they come!
• Leynes - Our last stop in the Mâconnais region, where we’ll visit a domain on the border with Beaujolais. A young couple, representing a new generation of wine growers, started making wine here a few years ago. Naturally, we’ll taste their wine!
• Saint-Amour-Bellevue - Welcome to Beaujolais! Saint Amour is the first cru (exceptional wine area) we’ll visit, and we’ll do it right by stopping for lunch. We’ll dine at a local restaurant (not included in the price) or, if the weather is nice, have a picnic in the vineyards.
• Saint-Amour-Bellevue - We’ll visit the village church and share all the fascinating things we’ve discovered about this place. Expect a journey through time!
• Chenas - Chénas is the second cru we’ll visit in Beaujolais. We can stop at the village castle, now a cooperative, for a wine tasting. Welcome to red wine country.
• Chateau du Moulin-a-Vent - Known as the lord of Beaujolais wines, Moulin à Vent competed with Romane Conti in the late 19th century. We’ll share its story. Moulin à Vent means Windmill in French, and you’ll see an authentic 15th-century windmill here!
• Fleurie - Known as the most feminine cru of Beaujolais, Fleurie was ironically put on the map by a woman last century. Depending on your mood and thirst, we’ll either stop at the cooperative, which also serves as a local bar, for a tasting, or head uphill to our favorite viewpoint in the vineyards. We’ll set up long chairs and open a few bottles for you to taste, including one from the vineyard where we’ll be standing.
• Julienas - Our final stop in the crus of Beaujolais. Julienas is the rebel cru to us. We’ll visit a building that once belonged to the Catholic Church, where they serve only Julienas wine for less than $2 a glass. Most tables are occupied by local wine growers, and it always feels like some conspiracy is brewing. This is as authentic as it gets.
