Overview

Leaving from Lyon or Villefranche/Saône (ask us about an optional transfer), we'll take you through the best of what Beaujolais has to offer: private medieval castles, wineries, local craftsmen, local producers (honey, cheese, cold cuts, truffles, etc.). Beaujolais has 10 crus (top wines); we can cover most of them in that full day.

Lunch will either be in a Michelin-starred restaurant or on a picnic we'll set up in the vineyards. We focus on what we love, which is usually food, wine, anecdotes, history, architecture, and landscapes.

We'll stop in a vineyard to open a few bottles of wine and taste local cold cuts and cheese with a gorgeous view of the region.

All our rides are private and tailor-made, so we'll happily adjust the above to your centers of interest.

So kick back, relax, and let us drive you to the best secret spots in Beaujolais!

    I had one of the most amazing experience with the Beaujolais Tour in France while discovering the Mâconnais ! It was very inspiring and interesting to meet so many women workers in the wine industry. The region is magnificent, wine tasting was marvelous and our dear tour guides were absolutely great, kind, joyful and passionate ! I definitely recommend the trip and would actually come back with friends next time ! Thanks a lot ! Greetings

    We had such a good time during this day trip around Beaujolais. The children loved the car, and so did we. Our guide really knew his stuff and was really friendly, a bit like the friend you wished you had in Beaujolais. The schemers was gorgeous and we happily tried some lovely wines.
