We loved our guide. Knowledgeable. Humorous. Completely immersed in the culture of wine making in Le Maconnais. We loved meeting wine makers in their wineries. We loved driving through the countryside on a gorgeous fall afternoon. A perfect experience.

Perfect Burgundy Tour in a Vintage Land Rover

AshleyLemons, Jun 2026

This was one of the highlights of our time in France! Exploring the beautiful Burgundy countryside in a vintage Land Rover made the experience feel truly unique from the very beginning. Our guide Elodie was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the region, sharing interesting history about the villages, vineyards, and winemaking traditions along the way. We loved visiting the two small family-owned wineries, where we enjoyed excellent tastings in a relaxed, authentic setting. It felt personal rather than commercial, which made it even more memorable. Another great feature of using this company is that they will organize any wine purchases you would like to make, including shipping back to the US. So you can buy what you like, and not have to worry about packing and shipping, or checking in your luggage! The half-day tour was the perfect length and offered a wonderful mix of scenic views, local history, and fantastic wines. If you're looking for a more intimate Burgundy wine experience with a little adventure mixed in, don't hesitate to book this tour. We would absolutely do it again!

A rich experience all around!

Our morning with Clemence was very fun and informative. In addition to visiting two wineries, we stopped at a chateau for some history. And we enjoyed practicing French with Clemence so, so much. Sophie Cinier was one of the most intelligent, wonderful women I have ever met. We particularly enjoyed our wine tasting with her. Merci pour tous Clemence!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely message! We are delighted to read that your morning with Clémence was both fun and informative! We are also thrilled that your tasting with Sophie Cinier left such a wonderful impression. Merci beaucoup from Clémence and all of us!

Beaujoleis and southern Burgandy half day tour

Efren_A, Apr 2026

Amélie gave us a fantastic tour where we got to meet real wine makers in the region of Beaujoleis and southern Burgandy. With incredible views of the French countryside, it was a good look into the wine making process and life of a winemaker.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you Efren, Amelie says you guys were super nice! Safe travels and let us know if/when you're back in the area, we'll be ready for more exploring!

Nidia_G, Jul 2025

This experience was a gift for my husband. We arrived by train to Macon and our tour guide picked us in an antique Land Rover which made my husband travel back in time to his first car. Thomas took us to three different places to enjoy the burgundy region wines. The drive through the different vineyards and small villages was fabulous. Thomas knowledge and sympathy made this tour enjoyable.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you Nidia for your kind words; your husband has an amazing taste (for choosing tours or a wife), he's a keeper! We hope you'll be back for more :) Until then, safe travels!

Perfection

Catherine_C, Oct 2024

The best tour I have ever been on! It would be hard to summarise in words how good it was. It was the perfect mix of tasting fabulous wine, while relaxing, chatting and enjoying the french countryside. All the places we visited were a different experience making the day varied. The tasting was relaxed without the hard sell and expecting us to purchase. We also learnt so much about the region and the wine preparation. Insiders were incredibly accommodating to our needs, allowing us to bring our puppies with us and making sure we could visit places that allowed dogs, advising on which trains to catch etc. The tour was so well thought through and felt incredibly personalised. I could not recommend enough, I only wish we had done the full day tour!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

What a feedback!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! You guys were tons of fun and we sincerely hope you'll be back for more! Until then, safe travels!

Best small tour in the area

Charlott_D, Aug 2024

The best personal tour ever. Our guide Aldric, knew his district and the history of the area. Visiting very local wine makers which was very interesting and so friendly. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you Charlotte, you've made our day with your kind words and we're expecting Aldric to grace us with his victory dance when he next gets to the office! Enjoy the rest of your summer and thank you so much for trusting us to explore Beaujolais! A bientôt!

AWESOME Tour

Rebecca_H, Jun 2024

The tour was awesome and I was introduced to Mâconnais wines. Since I ended up being the only person on the tour, I also was able to do Beaujolais tastings.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks Rebecca for posting a review and thanks for choosing us for your half day in Beaujolais! Safe travels and let us know when you're back with your dad!!

Highly reccomended

AnnaLena_K, May 2024

We were 9 people, so we drove in two cars. Both drivers were very friendly, spoke English well, and provided interesting information and answered questions during the tour. The tour included wine tasting in two different places, as well as a stop for a wonderful view of the surrounding area. The car drive also provided a nice view of the countryside. The first wine tasting offered an interesting insight into how the same grape can give different tasting wines depending on the growing conditions. The second wine tasting was in a beautiful and cosy garden, and was accompanied by some delicious cheeses. Overall, we are all very happy with the experience, and would strongly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you Anna for choosing us to explore Mâconnais region with your family, you were all great fun and it was a true pleasure to spend the afternoon with you all! Safe travels!
