Half-day northern Rhône wine tastings from Lyon, with guided visits in Ampuis and more, plus a scenic drive through Vienne in a small group.
“Im very glad I did this! Our guide was new to the route so didnt have a ton of deep insider information, but knew enough and was very friendly. I did this as a solo female and felt totally comfortable. We covered a lot of ground in just a half day trip. I didnt feel like the wineries we visited were really the “A-list” producers of the region but they were authentic and enjoyable. The views alone make the trip worthwhile.”

“We had the most fantastic afternoon on the wine tour with François. We visited two vineyards and the hospitality from the winemakers was excellent. François was so knowledgable and engaging. We came away knowing so much about the Beaujolais and got to taste plenty of fantastic wine!!! A fabulous day and we would definitely do another when we are in the area again. Thank you François!”

“Nathalie was an exceptional guide. Unfortunately with my autism I can’t synthesise languages but Nathalie ensured I had the information I wanted Maybe it’s a male thing, but I would have preferred less chocolate stops! Saying that the artisans created some outstanding taste explosions that had the same depth of flavour as a fine wine. Quite extraordinary and unexpected”

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.…”
