“This wine tasting guided tour with Justine was such a relaxing and informative afternoon. Justine made the tour very approachable to us (without much previous knowledge or experience in wine tasting or the region). Being from the surrounding area, Justine provided so much cultural history and wine-making traditions- it was clear how much personal interest and passion she has for her work. The wines (and snacks) were delicious and the company was friendly and informative! We were lucky enough to get a sunny day of the week and enjoyed the break from the city on this tour. We definitely recommend on your next trip to Lyon!”

12.Rhône Valley Wine Tasting Private Day Tour from Lyon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 43 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $1,201

Review of a private Rhône Valley wine tour from Lyon, with three wineries, local lunch, expert guidance, and tastings of Syrah and Viognier.

“Olivier was amazing! 10/10 would recommend this private day tour to the Rhône valley. Coming from the US, know it is not your typical “US wine tour.” The wineries are not open like they are in the US and require advance reservations. We would not have been able to do this our our own without a guide. Olivier knew all of the owners for each winery we stopped at it was his business/personal relationship with each individual that makes this tour so unique. It was one of the best days of our France trip so far and would come back and tour Burgundy with him, if the opportunity presents itself.…”

Review of Lyon’s full-day Beaujolais wine tour with family wineries, homemade picnic, castle views, Oingt, and small-group charm.

“This was one of the best experiences I had in France. Initially, we hesitated to book because it was a new experience without any reviews, but we are so glad we did because it was fantastic. Another reason we decided to book this tour was that food and drinks were included in the price. Petra is an exceptional host, friendly, and very organized. She introduced us to beautiful vineyards and prepared a delicious picnic in a picturesque setting. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the Beaujolais region in a unique and personal way.”
