Discover Beaujolais with Insiders

5.00A great experience with Insiders to discover the Beaujolais region! Very original activities like a blind tasting in an incredible castle! And I discovered more than wine culture, also anecdotes like the one about the Templar treasure! I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience

5.00Fun day out with the family, the grey sky didn’t alter the time spent with Melanie which was great fun all day long. We learnt so much and saw so much that the day went by in no time. Thank you Melanie, this was the best day of our trip!
Great day out in wine country

5.00We decided to wait for the end of our 2 weeks trip around France to decide what the lights were and this was it, a great, fun authentic, warm and human tour in Beaujolais to discover their wine and food. What was special about this was the human touch, those guys genuinely care about their guests and we didn’t feel like clients at all. We were greeted by winemakers (THE winemaker, not a head-of-wine-tourism-experience person) and had great talks about their wines. If you do one thing while in Lyon, aside from eating too much, DO THIS!
I was back for more and wasn't disapointed

5.00I took out friends because I had absolutely loved my last tour, and was once again delighted! The Land Rovers were the sturdy beasts we needed, we had 4 tastings of 5 wines (I admit to spitting most of them otherwise I'd never have finished the day) and most stops offered a charcuterie and cheese board for pairing (which I did spit). Lunch was in a most unusual place and simply brilliant. That was clearly a secret spot because not a single influencer could be seen recording themselves, and I intend to keep it that way... I'm particularly grateful to our Insider Aldric for his time and patience with my million questions and for making me discover new places (I would have been perfectly happy doing the same tour as last time but apparently that would have been insulting or something). Highly recommended to everyone who enjoys wine, the countryside and being chauffeured around with regular stops for snacks or anecdotes...
Amazing & non touristic

5.00We did the winter wine tour yesterday and I cannot recommend this enough! We want to see non touristic places when we travel, get to see what the real life is, this is exactly what we did! So much better than the Burgundy tour we did where tourism is an industry and you don’t get to meet the winemaker or people working the vineyards. Here we met a bunch and they took time to explain their work to us; we loved every minute of it!
Superb!

5.00This was our best tour while in Lyon (we did three) and we will come back as they also do Cotes du Rhone but we found out too late. We loved seeing old castles, ride in a vintage Land Rover (merci for the covers) and get to know our insider guide Amelie, we felt like we were with a friend and that is not what usually happens on a private tour.
Marvellous !

5.00A wonderful experience with Aldric and his team. Fabulous landscapes of the Beaujolais region, warm encounters with winegrowers, and the discovery of fine wines. Thank you, Insiders, for this timeless moment!

5.00Thank you Aldric for a great day out, I am now officially a Beaujolais fan and have ordered a few cases of wine during my tour to have shipped back home even though that wasn’t the plan. This was fun, super educative and laid back, my kind of travel! Merci!
