• 4Interesting Northern Rhône Wine Tour

  Overall, this was an interesting day trip visiting two Northern Rhône wineries and stopping at a local French bistro for lunch, which is paid for separately out-of-pocket. Our guide, Eddy, did a good job keeping everything organized and running smoothly. Since Syrah isn't my personal favorite, I appreciated the educational aspect of the tour more than the wines themselves. However, the experience would be greatly improved if the wineries offered small snacks or food bites alongside the tastings, as food pairings completely transform how wine tastes. It is a worthwhile outing, but best suited for big Syrah fans or those who don't mind tasting wines without food pairings.

• 5Wonderful time in Cote Rotie

  We had a wonderful time exploring Côte Rotie with Eddy! The domaine stops were great, the visit to the old town in between domaine visits was fun and a good break to stretch your legs. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Cote Rotie! Only note would be that the van can get quite hot in the back, the AC doesn’t reach there so be mindful of that when booking on hot summer days.

• 2Not recommended

  It is not up to my expectation as a full day tour only visit 2 wineries, one of that are not even guided by the winery owner. Another one served with wine of supermarket pricepoint. We spent almost 2 hours at self-pay lunch which is unnecessary, if it is the case, this tour should be changed to half day tour without a lunch! (Maybe if it is the case, they can’t charge what they “over” charged as what they did now. Overall, the tour is not very informative, especially for me who has some wine knowledge, I want to hear more about the characteristics that a textbook is not going to teach us, but seems the guide is not knowledgeable enough (sorry that I do expect this for a “Northern Rhone wine tour” charged at this price point.

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.
