Rain did not bother us. - We heard about the interesting local history and the wine. Clémence and Yann were both very knowledgeable and engaging hosts. The chapel was a nice setting for a tasting. The winemaker and his vineyard complemented the tour.

Nice afternoon "dans le pays!" - Beautiful ride northwest out of Lyon into the vineyard area. Relaxing visit to the town of Oignt. Sampled wines at a nice overlook of the Beaujolis area. Also sampled wines at the Guilliard family winery. Met the 11th generation owner and learned how they have produced winw for centuries. Great afternoon to an area we would never had visited otherwise.

Gamay Gamay Gamay - Until this tour, I knew little about the Beaujolais region wines in France. I knew I loved the wines from the region but did not know they are produced using the Gamay grape. This wonderful grape produces the best fruity young red wines due to its low tannins. The flavor profile is simply amazing. A visit is a must. This tour takes you on a journey into Beaujolais where you are treated to wines tastings, tour of a medieval city and learn about wine making. It ranks no 1 on my list. I had so much fun.

The Best of the Beaujolais Region - This wine tour was marvelous. The Beaujolais Region is stunning and the wine was plentiful. We were a small group which made it easy to talk and share experiences. Our guides Clotilde and Clemence were personable and fun. We got to explore an area and small village that looked like golden stones. The visit to the wiBert was exceptional and we met the owner. It is interesting to see how wine is made and to explore the entire process. Do not miss this experience.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for! - We had a wonderful day on this tour with our guide Yan, who was knowledgeable and communicative, and ensured all his guests were included in the experience. We loved that the tour was relaxed and not rushed, giving a nice introduction to the area around Lyon and the opportunity to discuss wine growing with a knowledgeable wine producer. Great wine to buy at a very reasonable price We highly recommend this tour.
