Justine was an excellent guide and took us to three quite different wineries. She is very knowledgeable and assisted the winery staff with explanations. Justine provided some accompaniments to the wine.
We were taken to a great place for lunch with a wonderful view of the river.
The van we travelled in was quite comfortable.

We had a wonderful day with Justine. There were 8 of us in the tour, which is a perfect number, especially when everyone is friendly and out going. Justine was very knowledgable and helpful. After the tour she sent me a long list of recommendations for the next destination of our vacation.

Beautiful countryside, great access to winemakers and the process. Delicious wines and fabulous guide!
Susan_G, Oct 2025
This wasn’t great small group tour. We particularly enjoyed the learning about the valley and unique areas within the valley. The lunch restaurant was incredible and one we would not have found ourselves. Wonderful day!
Janice_H, Oct 2025
This tour was very well organized with our guide giving a lot of great information on the area. The 3 winery stops were all good choices. In addition, we stopped at a very good restaurant for lunch.
Susan_C, Oct 2025
We enjoyed every winery —each had its own personality and speciality in their wine region/appellation. Best of all was our guide. She has worked for wineries in this area for many years. She know the wines, the regions, the staff/owners and history. We loved the small group —very personal touch to the tour. And lunch along the Rhône River was excellent.
Brett_S, Oct 2025
Awesome experience for those with a little or a lot of wine knowledge. Fantastic to meet a guide and locals with so much passion and enthusiasm.
Patricia_F, Sep 2025
Spent a lovely day in the northern Rhône wine tasting. Justine is a top notch, graceful, knowledgeable guide and speaks English! Her Mercedes van was comfortable, lunch spot was luxurious, and the three wineries were delightful.
Suzanne_V, Jun 2025
We visited three different wineries in size and each of them introduced us to different aspects of wine making.
Maureen_N, May 2025
Such a professional tour. Learnt so much about the region and wine production. Lunch was exceptional with a picture postcard view. Justine was exceptionally knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend this tour for a great experience in Lyon.
Shelley_C, May 2025
Our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and only one of the best for our group. For me it was more than just winetasting. We got to see the countryside and some very small villages that were from the 1600s. I would highly recommend it.
Robert_L, May 2025
Absolutely brilliant. She was very informed and showed us the best wineries. Her English was excellent as well as her driving skills! Well worth the price.

Cheryl_T, May 2025
Justine our guide was very personable and very knowledgeable about wine in her region. It was very interesting to visit small family run vineyards and wineries rather than the big commercial vineyards. We learnt a lot about the local wines. The restaurant we had lunch at was great. The service was very good and our food varied and delicious. Thank you Justine.
Victoria_M, May 2025
Justine was lovely. She was knowledgeable and took us to some small and medium wineries. We had snacks and took care of our comfort. We had a wonderful group of people on our tour that added to the enjoyment.
Cj_C, May 2025
Justine is an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable of French wine and wineries, and also helpful with information on and around Lyon. Very personable guide on a lovely tour of varied wineries and stunning scenery.
Alain_D, Apr 2025
Justine was the perfect guide navigating traffic while showing us the charms of the underrated northern Cotes du Rhone. With three wineries and a lunch stop on the itinerary it was a full and satisfying day.
Rosemarie_D, Apr 2025
A wonderful tour, interesting information provided by our very knowledgeable and experienced guide, Justine. The wine was good, the experience was great.
Susan_W, Mar 2025
Justine was very knowledgeable and helpful. There were 6 of us and she was attentive to all. We went to 3 different venues. All different but with great wines.
Federico_C, Nov 2024
Justine was an attentive and knowledgeable host. We tasted at family owned wineries which brings a more authentic feel to the experience. If you want to know more about the Rhone Valley appellations and taste some fantastic wines then this is the tour for you.
Michael_M, Oct 2024
An extremely enjoyable and educational experience. A fabulous lunch! Great views, some very interesting wines, especially the whites, which we really don’t see at home. Justine was an excellent guide and we would love to explore more with her!
Emily_H, Sep 2024
Justine was so knowledgeable and has worked so hard to build strong relationships with the wine makers that we got a behind the scenes tours and tastings even though it was harvest season and everyone was working hard. The wine was amazing, the scenery spectacular, and her choice of lunch was delicious. Even though we have tasted many time before we still learned new things.
Lucas_D, Sep 2024
Justine was a fantastic guide who took us to outstanding vineyards, taught us a ton about the Northern Rhône Valley, and brought us to a beautiful lunch spot. We tried 5+ wines at 3 separate stops with lunch in between. We discovered small to medium-sized vineyards. The entire experience felt intimate and we met great friends along the way. I highly recommend this tour!
Val_S, May 2024
Justine was terrific! Her knowledge is thorough and we really enjoyed our full day tour with her. Highly recommend!
Christina_W, Apr 2024
Our guide (and the owner of the company) Justine was very knowledgeable and friendly, and kept everything running seamlessly, We visited 3 different wineries in various appellations and in each place, we tasted 5 wines. The first, Guigal, even had a beautiful museum of wine making. At Remy Nodin, we also toured the back rooms and saw all the equipment for expressing the grapes, the fermentation tanks, and the barrels for aging. It was a real education. And did I mention the delicious lunch in Tain-Hermitage? Justine is a treasure—this is the tour you want to take!
Ronald_P, Mar 2024
Justine was an amazing tour guide and the tour was great. We went to 3 local wineries and got a tour/history of north Rhône valley. The wineries being local to the region and not mass produced plants also gave the tour a more unique and incredible experience. Would recommend anyone visiting Lyon to do this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you very much for your comment and the details! Perhaps we'll see you soon on another wine tour.

David_R, Mar 2024
Fantastic trip/tour. We were a group of 5 who have been on vineyard tours in several countries. Justine really knows her stuff! The three vineyards were sufficiently different, we learned about the Syrah, Viognier and Marsanne grapes and how the same grape can create a completely different wine depending on terroir and the wine maker.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hello David ! Thank you very much for this wonderful review !
Bradley_P, Oct 2023
Justine took the tour with only 3 of us when the minimum is 4 people, effectively giving us a private tour. We learnt all about the wines in the region and tried 15+ wines and witnessed some breathtaking views. Justine was a great guide and very friendly.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
