Great day in the Northern Rhone valley - Eddy was very knowledgeable and seemed to know everyone in the Rhone valley. We loved the wine (bought a case to ship home) and the countryside was beautiful. He took us to a very locals’ restaurant for lunch and I tried Frogs Legs! Recommend the trip to wine experts as well as novices.

Perfect day - Had a great time with Francois… The day was fabulous. I have never seen vineyards such as the ones here on the northern Rome slopes. One of the highlights was The lunch with the group. Francois picked a fabulous restaurant.

Southern Rhone Valley wine and food tour - Francois was our guide of 7 to the southern Rhone Valley on a cloudy Saturday. The trip was both informative and entertaining and our travel companions from Canada and California were an enjoyable group to taste excellent wines, learn about the region and share a delicious midday meal. Highly recommend this trip which took over 7 hours and was very comfortable and enjoyable.

Excellent Tour and Views - We had a great day in the Rhône Valley! Our guide, Eddy, was extremely knowledgeable and has a real passion for wine and teaching his guests. The day was well planned but relaxing and, compared to other wine tours I've done in other regions, this one took us both to the wine houses and into the hills for incredible views. The wine was great as well!

Fast Eddie - The day was beautiful and we were welcomed by our tour guide Eddie or from here on in to be known as Fast Eddie. With quite a sedate group we hurtled our way at break neck speed to experience a wonderful day full of wine, views and great food. Much information was parted to us by 2 very knowledgeable experts. Fast Eddie was also very knowledgeable and generous with his information . He was, in turn enthusiastic and encouraged by those in the group who also had and shared their knowledge. The restaurant we visited was fabulous and the wine was wonderful. Thanks Fast Eddie, my nerves were shot but our hearts and stomach were full.
