- We had great experience. We gained important knowledge about the principles and philosophy of wine tasting, wine production in Rhône region and the culture, nature and landscape there. Highly recommended.

Romain was a fantastic guide and we had a great day - Pick up and travel was easy and comfortable. Tour was informative and engaging. It had an off-the-cuff nature to it, not scripted and phoned in. Romain was a great guide who brought knowledge and a good energy. We stopped at two wineries and had one of the best French meals we’ve had on this trip. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks Romain for a wonderful day out 🍷

Fantastic wines, beautiful scenery - Tour group was limited to the capacity of the van - made for a nice group. The four vineyards we visited in the Beaujolais region over a two-day period were all family owned and run - some dating back to the 1800's. Friendly owners, good presentation and excellent wine! Great surrounding scenery of hills filled with vineyards.

Very knowledgeable guide - Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, wine, and willing to provide guidance to our level of understanding. He was very professional, friendly, and we appreciated his recommendations for lunch and a wine pairing with lunch.

Nice relaxing day - It was a nice tour with the 2 stops. Our guide was a good communicator. I think overpriced for 2 stops, no lunch, and not a lot of history, cultural information in the drive to and from. But very nice. Beautiful views.

Nice tour in norhtern Rohne - Two good visits att 2 nice wineyard in norhern Rohne. Very good guide and very good tastings. On the bad side: We did not understand that lunch not was part of the price until we met our guide. The lunch also took a very long time. That led to the tour was almost 8 hours instead of 6-7 hours.
