A delightful day - We really enjoyed our day on this tour. It was a treat to ride through the beautiful countryside. Olivier gave us a wealth of information about the history and wine of the region. The visit to the winery was relaxed and pleasant with information about production, nice wines and the opportunity to see how sausages and cheeses complimented their flavors. The lunch stop was delicious and very reasonably priced. The villages we stopped at were lovely, "picture postcard" beautiful.

Fabulous host, beautiful villages, lovely wine - This was an amazing day from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Justine, was absolutely fabulous. We fell in love with Pérouges, and the galette we tried there. We then drove though the beautiful country side for a wine tasting, which featured 4 wines, before stopping for lunch. We all enjoyed our lunch, and then our visit to Oingt. After exploring this village, we stopped at a family winery for our second tasting of the day. We got to see the vinyard before tasing the various wines. Justine was with us every step of the way and gave excellent explanations. She was the best guide we had on our vacation. I certainly would recommend her to any traveller.

A must do when in Lyon - Olivier was an excellent guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, spoke both French and English for all participants and he truly loves the region and the producers, vintners, restaurant owners and it shows. The sites and country side were beautiful, the wine delicious, the food was top notch. My wife and I took a few tours during our time in France and his was by far the best. Cheers

Highlight of trip - Olivier is a phenomenal guide. We did a private tour with him to the Beaujolais Region and Perouges. He made stops in Charnay, Chessy les Mines, Bagnols, Oignt and Perouges. We had a fabulous tour of a lovely vineyard, Domaine de fond-Vielle, where the owner spoke of the history of the vineyard and hosted an amazing tasting. I'd highly recommend a tour with Olivier; he shares so many interesting points about the area and never rushes his clients. He allows you to explore and experience each of the areas. We enjoyed an outstanding day with him.

Wonderful, small group wine tours - My wife and I took three full-day wine tours with Olivier in September. Each was wonderfully unique and perfectly led by Olivier. His knowledge of the different appellations and his relationships with various producers made for highly informative tours and great fun. He also arranged for lunch stops at some terrific restaurants. Olivier: Ian and Leila say hi from Southern California 😎

A day around Lyon - Highly recommended for a day-trip in this beautiful region around Lyon. September is a great time as you can watch how they harvest the grape. Great wine with affordable price.

Well worth the day - Our guide was relaxed yet knowledgeable. He had washed all the windows in the van was perfect. He knew a lot about the history of where we stopped. The wine maker that he took us to was charming and we tasted five different Beaujolais. It was just great.

Incredible Beaujolais tour and wine tastings! - Our group of 6 absolutely loved this tour. It was the highlight of our trip to Lyon. We were able to go to 2 different vineyards and taste multiple different wines from the region. The lunch in between the tastings was also excellent. Olivier is incredibly informed about both the region and wine! He was very friendly, and we had an amazing day. Absolutely would recommend.
