I just loved this day. We had a great group of people on our bus, Oliver was amazing, he gave us lots of interesting information and looked after us beautifully. We did 2 medieval villages and 2 wineries with generous pours of wine. It’s a long day but it’s really is perfect. We also stopped for a delicious lunch in Marcy. This was the most picturesque, joyful day and my husband and I just loved it. Thank you Oliver for a wonderful tour - I highly recommend this tour if you are in Lyon.

A long day

Linda_A, Jul 2025

It was a long day. The small towns were pretty quiet, very few shops open. The family owned vineyard was the highlight, meeting and interacting with the owner. The lunch stop was enjoyable, great menu choices and delicious.

A very fun day with Sebastian- the highlight was visiting his family's winery and learning more about Beaujolais. We also got to see backroads and small towns that we would not have had the opportunity to see if we had been with a large tour. An amazing lunch, two wine tastings and a nap in the van on the way back. Would highly recommend!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you very much for your review Allison! I am so happy that you loved the tour with us! My warm regards, Olivier & Sebastien

a pleasant day in Beaujolais

The view of the misty valley landscape from up on the hills was a beautiful spectacle. The golden stone villages on the route to the vineyard were unique. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Dominique Guillard's vineyard where we learned about his natural approach (lutte raisonnée) to viniculture and wine making where he doesn't add pesticides, fertilizer or water. His wine was delicious. Olivier was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who made our tour so enjoyable.

Fantastic tour, definitely recommended

Fantastic trip, our guide was very attentive to our needs. He even adjusted some of the wines during our Wine tasting to accommodate a few members who preferred rouge instead of blanc or bubbly wines. We had a great time in Pérouges! It was great that we got there early so we had the town almost to ourselves. It started raining, but he was ready with umbrellas for us. He even dropped us close to the hotels and stations for an easier trip home.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Merci! My pleasure! So happy that you like the day tour to Beaujolais & Perouges. My best regards from Lyon, Olivier

Karen_H, Sep 2022

Loved all of it. Sebastian was fantastic! Knowledgeable and very personable. The amount of time at each place was perfect and the van was very good.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Merci Karen ! Sebastien sends you his warmest regards, Olivier

Great day trip.

Nancy_D, Sep 2019

Olivier was very knowledgeable about the area. The towns we visited were very interesting and he gave us lots of information. The countryside was just lovely. Olivier grew up in the region and had worked in the vineyards. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer. He took us to the vineyard where we learned about gamay grapes, tasted them right off the vine, and then did wine tastings with more grapes, cheese and crackers. He also took us to a local restaurant for lunch. Though he had lots to share, he could tell when we were tired at the end of the day and we drove home in pleasant silence. We highly recommend this tour.
