Itinerary
You will start the tour with a stop in the middle of the Golden stones area. We will explain the origin and the typology of this vineyard and introduce you to this voluptuous and fruity wine during a tasting of white and red.
After crossing lovely villages surrounded by vines, you will visit a local wine estate. You will immediately be immersed in the friendly atmosphere of Beaujolais when you will meet the producer. You will taste several red wines but also white and maybe some rosés. This is a good introduction to Beaujolais wines, that, we hope, will give you the desire to come back and taste more !

Absolutely loved this trip. Drank lots of wine and met some fabulous people. Both vineyards were great but the first was my favourite. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable
5My fiancé and I enjoyed...
My fiancé and I enjoyed the wine tour so much. Our guide Eddie was very informative, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The tour consists of 2 stops with 3-5 tastings each. All the wine was delicious and such reasonable price for purchase. There were 4 small parties which was perfect.
5First time doing wine tasting tour
I’ve never been on a wine tasting tour before, and Kim was wonderful! She explained everything so clearly and was very knowledgeable. The winery owners explained all the details about the winemaking process. I had no idea how much time and effort goes into making wine! I’ll definitely appreciate wine so much more now lol Thank you for such a cool experience!

About Lyon
Lyon, where the Rhône and Saône meet, is a Roman and Renaissance city of covered passageways, long called the capital of French cooking.
Lyon spreads across two rivers and two hills. On Fourvière hill, the white basilica looks down over the Roman theatres of Lugdunum, once the capital of Gaul, while the Renaissance old town below has narrow streets and covered passageways, the traboules, that silk workers used to carry cloth. The old town and the slopes of Croix-Rousse, the silk weavers' hill, are part of the UNESCO-listed historic site.
Top-ranked sights in Lyon: Old Lyon (Vieux Lyon), Traboules of Lyon, Lyon Cathedral (Cathédrale St-Jean).
