A magical rediscovery of Beaujolais with Aldric! - A huge thank you to Aldric for this magnificent day of discovery of Beaujolais and Mâconnais! Her tour, off the beaten track, made us see the region in a whole new light, as if a friend made us discover it with passion and generosity.
Everything was perfectly thought out and adaptable: tastings, photo stops, cultural visits and, as part of our education, beautiful meetings with hotel partners. Every moment was a nice surprise, and the icing on the cake was that relaxing break in a deckchair on the heights of Fleurie, with a breathtaking view.
Aldric is an exceptional guide, very attentive and anxious to offer a unique experience. Even though I was born in Beaujolais, I rediscovered my region in an incredible way. I recommend 100%!

Great trip in Beaujolais! - Aldric our master of ceremonies of the day is extremely curious and attentive to our expectations giving a real feeling to discover the region with a close friend.
From vineyard to vineyard we discovered atypical places far from any tourist hustle and bustle to the rhythm of purrs of a good old Land Rover.
Very nice experience, thank you!

Exceptional scenery, fun and informative - Stunning scenery, a lot of fun with our guide JC. Nothing was too much trouble. Learned so much about the region and the wine making processes. So different from Australia. The vineyards and wine makers that JC arranged for us to visit were very informative and so very friendly. I only wish we had given ourselves more than one day to immerse ourselves in the history of the area.
Highly recommend JC and the vintage Range Rover tour.

Unforgettable Beaujolais Experience with Al! - If I could give more than five stars, I would! Our tour with Al through the Beaujolais region was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, he made the experience feel so special and personalized just for us. His deep knowledge, passion, and warm personality truly set this tour apart.
The scenery was breathtaking, the wine was exceptional, and every stop felt thoughtfully curated. Al went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable time, and I can confidently say this was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
I will absolutely be back and won’t hesitate to book another tour with him. If you’re considering this excursion—don’t hesitate! I’d recommend it to everyone I know.

Delightful day exploring Beaujolais - Aldric and JC were charming guides. Aldric picked us up at our hotel and JC took us wine tasting. Together, they planned a custom full-day tour of Beaujolais.
JC brought us to four different tastings so we got to experience everything from unique natural wines to Beaujolais Villages to a few different crus. It was a great variety of wines presented often by the winemakers themselves. They packed a lot into the day without making it exhausting.
A highlight of the day was an elegant lunch at Ema, where we asked JC to join us so he could tell us about his life in the region. We really enjoyed spending the day with him. Both he and Aldric were courteous and accommodating. They have put a lot of thought into these tours and their relationships in the region.
Thank you, JC and Aldric!

Meet the people behind France's most underrated wine region - My wife and I had an amazing time exploring our favorite wine region. Al did a great job of currating the trip to our needs and arranged a meeting with a win maker we'd requested. A must do if you are in Macon or Lyon.

Brilliant tour, gracious and friendly guide, a perfect day - An absolutely perfect day! Our guide and new friend, Aldric, introduced us to several areas in Beaujolais, while sharing with us stories of the land and history of winemaking in the area. We visited with a winemaking family and shared a picnic and a lovely glass of wine with them, as they described their wine and the process of making it. We toured vineyards, and even a castle, where we also enjoyed a delicious glass of wine made on the estate. An unforgettable experience, thank you, Aldric!
