Overwhelming beauty! - This was by far the highlight of my French adventure this year. This land is overwhelmingly, spectacularly, gorgeous, and.... the wine.... oh my goodness .... delicious! My family and I are most grateful for the expert guidance and the kindness of Clem and Rachel who made our Beaujolais experience wonderfully memorable. Thank you, merci beaucoup! 💖

Highly recommend this! - Raphaëlle was such a wonderful host. I learned so much at the interactive museum with a little game we played to understand the different parts of wine through all senses (except sound). The amount of wine we were able to taste was incredible and the variety was surprising. I’ve only ever had 2 types of Beaujolais: one labeled “Beaujolais” and one labeled “Beaujolais-Village”. On the tour, we tried white wine, rosé, and a large variety of reds. We visited a larger winery and a smaller family owned organic winery, both offering a great experience. It was lovely to meet with the smaller winemaker directly, it felt super personal and meaningful. I highly highly recommend this experience!

Leave the hustle and bustle to sip wine in the countryside - This was the last-minute booking for me, but I am very happy!I did it. Enjoyable drive out into the countryside north of Lyon to learn about Beaujolais wines. Two very different tasting experiences, both of them unique and enjoyable in their own way. The first one at a Château winery with beautiful gardens included a walking tutorial on all of the components that give wine its flavor. I’ve been to a lot of wineries in my life and never seen the complexity and the components of wine, broken down quite so well, with all of the senses involved; taste, smell, touch, and visual. The second experience was at a small family owned winery in a picturesque French Village, presided over by the owner. A very enjoyable, intimate setting, where the family showed its passion and its pride for their wines. I really enjoyed this tour, and highly recommend it if you want to get out into the wine country around Lyon, learn some new things, and benefit from a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.

Nice trip with great guide - Beautiful landscape, and some reasonable wine. I think beaujolais reputaion is a little unjust. A good beaujolais is a very good wine and a quite unique taste. Our guide was excellent - great knowledge of both the area and the wine. It was a pleasure!

A great day in Beaujolais! - We had such a beautiful day and experience in Beaujolais. Our guide (Rachel) was very informative from the start of our journey, filling us in on the history of the region, the varietals, terroirs and what to expect. The first stop was a very old estate that had a comprehensive and fun walking experience of the tasting components of wine. This was followed by a tasting of various wines and learning about each. They actually had wines from several villages to try and compare. The next stop was a beautiful hilltop estate in Fleurie and we got to learn about the different stages of their winemaking process unique to Beaujolais. This was followed by another great tasting. The trip was well planned and timed, but our guide really added to the experience with her knowledge and excitement about the region. Just an overall great time.

A fun afternoon - Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the elements involved in the aroma, taste and feel of wine and the stories behind the wines that we sampled as well as the wines themselves. The scenery was beautiful and the trip went smoothly from start to finish. We enjoyed the chance to meet fellow travelers from different places and backgrounds. We had fun and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Great wine tour - Raphael was our guide and she was great. She was very knowledgeable and organised. We stopped at 2 wineries and they were both good. We left on time and got back on time.

regular - The 1st visit to the castle was good, beautiful, but in the 2nd I found the place horrible, ugly and disorganized. There must be better wineries options to replace this 2nd.

Beautiful contrast of wine experiences - The Beaujolais region merits a visit. The first winery was polished and pristine...but had a gimmicky interactive exhibit. The second winery felt much more authentic. The vintner was passionate about the wine and carefully explained. While the tour operator was knowledgeable, she was late in arriving and had difficulty driving and talking at the same time. She was also too quick to correct while her command of English is still developing.

Lots of tastings - Picturesque Chateau Pizay, self guided with tutorial, self served 12 wine tastings. Beautiful Chateau Poirer with the owner including tastings and tour of the cellar. Really informative including information/demonstration of soils and the effect on wine. The tour could benefit from the wine tutorial being interactive/guided or voluntary. The time spent compromised the self serve wine tasting which could also benefit from being interactive/guided. It felt impersonal. It would be helpful if the driver used a microphone in the bus and included all.
