Private Half Day Wine Tour from Lyon in Beaujolais

What a fantastic day with Amelie! Very well planned and coordinated. Amelie picked us up at the train station and our first winery stop started in the vineyards and progressed to the tastings and then the winery operations. We actually changed to the full day tour that allowed us to visit three wineries and have lunch with one of the winemakers. Amelie and the winemakers were all very informative and knowledgeable about the entire Beaujolais area and helped us understand the complicated French classification and bottle labeling system. The tastings took place where they make their wines. Note that this is a completely different experience from the mega wineries/wine showrooms - you visit family wineries producing very limited quantities of excellent wines that the actual winemakers describe and explain why they taste the way they do. A great learning experience. Highly recommend.

We had such a special experience on our honeymoon. Melanie and the team went above and beyond. Would recommend to all!

Mélanie was fantastic! We had a great time tasting at two vineyards and exploring Beaujolais. We learned a lot about the process and the differences between the terroirs and appellations. Highly recommend!

A fantastic private tour. Our guide, Clemence, was wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries we visited were hosted by the owners , providing great insights into the details of producing excellent wines. Highly recommended!!!

Benoit’s wine tour was the highlight of our Lyon trip and worth every penny. He crafted a unique experience based on our wine preferences. He even asked what types of local cheese we would like to sample with the last tasting. He took us to 2 wineries, one a small, family owned and the other a larger production. We learned about the wines of the area, explored the caves & production areas, then enjoyed tasting of several wines. The 4 hour tour flew by! Total trip time is about 6 hours including transportation to/from the train station to hotel. Things to note: The vintage Range Rover with the rag top was fun, so dress appropriately for getting in and out of the back. Chilled water was provided for the hot day. Bring a backpack or strong bag to carry some wine on the train because you will want to purchase these beautiful wines. Benoit planned ahead with us, meet us on the train platform, and got us back to the station . A truly customized & private wine experience as only my friend and I were on the tour. We opted for fewer wineries due to the heat, but honestly it allowed for an in-depth experience and even time with one of the owners who shared his family’s history of wine making. Priceless!
