Half-day Beaujolais tasting from Lyon with a five-sense stop at Château de Pizay and a family winery meet-the-winemaker session.
“We had a good experience on this wine tour. Francois was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. Upsides of the tour: -explored 2 different wineries -beautiful scenery on drive Downsides: -we did not get to explore the grounds at either winery. I personally would have liked more education on the wine making process and touring the facility would help with that -the 1st winery was a “self-guided tasting”. Nothing wrong with that if you don’t mind going around to different spouts and trying what you want to try, but personally I would have liked someone pouring the wine and telling me more about it.…”

“The view of the misty valley landscape from up on the hills was a beautiful spectacle. The golden stone villages on the route to the vineyard were unique. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dominique Guillard's vineyard where we learned about his natural approach (lutte raisonnée) to viniculture and wine making where he doesn't add pesticides, fertilizer or water. His wine was delicious. Olivier was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who made our tour so enjoyable.”

“Our Beaujolais Wine Tour has been the highlight of our European trip, which has included stays in Lucerne & Geneva Switzerland, Milan Italy, and Munich Germany.

“The trip out to the market and winery was in a very small vehicle for the 8 people of the day. My leg was up against the gear box. Not alot of room for social distancing. Tasted food was nice but given food different to what described and felt a bit disorganised. Winery was a high light, beautiful area, proud owner and lovely wine.”
