After crossing beautiful villages surrounded by vineyards, you will visit two local wineries. You will be immediately immersed in the warm atmosphere of the Beaujolais during your meeting with the winemakers producers. You will taste different red wines but also white and perhaps rosé.

 

This is a good introduction to Beaujolais wines, that grow in one of the most picturesque wine regions, and which we hope, will give you the desire to come back and taste more!

For this trip, we drove to the beautiful ‘Golden Rocks’ area and went to two family wineries - one a small relatively-new vineyard, and the other well-established. Both wineries offered fantastic wines. For the first we were given a detailed explanation of the vineyard and winemaking approaches before tasting; the second had a more formal tasting room and we were given an explanation of each wine as it was poured generously. We had a great time, and acquired a few bottles for later on the way. Mathilde our tour guide was always on hand to help us with any explanation that we did not understand fully between our French/English translations. We would highly recommend this tour, and we wish we had the time to do more of the Beaujolais region!

We loved this tour. Eddy was our guide and he was terrific. We were there during harvest and got to meet the wineries’ owners and experience harvest and some wonderful wines. Highly recommend!

Une matinée très agréable et enrichissante dans les vignobles des pierres dorées. Un bel environnement, de délicieux vins à déguster et même un bonus plateau charcuterie fromage :)) Notre guide Mathilde était au top, le vigneron lui même était impressionné de ses connaissances techniques. Je recommande !
