Wine tasting experience Northern Rhône - Great experience. François is an excellent guide, very accomodating and friendly. He explained everything, from the region, to the wine making facts, and more. The two vineyards we visited were really nice and the wine tasting part was a lot of fun. Small group of six. Highly recommended tour.

Rhône Valley Wine Tour 1/2 Day - The Rhône Valley wine tour 1/2 day is the perfect amount of time and wine. Our tour guide was great and the hosts of the 2 vineyards we visited served excellent wine. There was plenty of water and light snacks at winery so tasting didn’t become “overwhelming”. My husband and I travelled with our 22 and 24-yr old sons - they enjoyed this as much as we did!

Lovely excursion to the northern Rhône valley - Perfect for a half day trip to learn about northern Rhône wines. We learned a lot. Our guide Francois was knowledgeable and pleasant. The meeting location was super easy and the drive out to the wineries pleasant. The tour description mentions the Roman ruins of Vienne. There was no mention of this during our tour. . We did not see it at all. So that was misleading. Overall, a worthwhile trip if you are wanting to do something outside of Lyon that is easy. We really enjoyed learning more about the northern Rhône wines!
