Julie, notre hôtesse était d’une gentillesse incroyable et elle a su nous transmettre ses connaissances avec intérêt et professionnalisme et ce autant en Français qu’en Anglais. Merci Julie du Québec

Notre guide, une Californienne vivant dans la région, nous a fait vivre une expérience unique. Personnellement, je m’y connaissais très peu en viticulture, mais notre expérience a été exceptionnelle, notamment grâce à la présentation de cette région viticole et des différents types de vins qui y sont produits, de Condrieu à Côte-Rôtie. Visites, dégustations, échanges et rencontres, gastronomie : tout était parfait. Je recommande vivement cette expérience !

We had limited time in Lyon and opted for a half day Rhone Valley trip. Eddy was our host--he was fun and knowledgeable and kept us laughing. We enjoyed our two vineyard visits despite the rainy weather. Would highly recommend!
