Discover the charm of southern Beaujolais, often called the "Tuscany of France," with its rolling hills and picturesque hilltop villages made of golden stone. Just north of Lyon, this lush, hilly region is known for its famed Beaujolais Nouveau and golden-stone architecture.
Join our driver-guide for a cultural and gourmet adventure, including an introduction to wine and a tasting session with a local winemaker.
Travel through scenic landscapes where villages glow in warm golden stones. Enjoy a wine-tasting session amid the vineyards, savoring two distinct wines paired with a local pastry, while learning about the “terroir” that makes each wine unique.
Visit Oingt, a 12th-century village listed as one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages, and stroll its medieval streets. End your tour at a family-owned winery where the friendly winemaker shares his craft and offers a tasting with a traditional Lyon “mâchon” of local cold meats and cheeses.

5.00We heard about the interesting local history and the wine. Clémence and Yann were both very knowledgeable and engaging hosts. The chapel was a nice setting for a tasting. The winemaker and his vineyard complemented the tour.
Nice afternoon "dans le pays!"

5.00Beautiful ride northwest out of Lyon into the vineyard area. Relaxing visit to the town of Oignt. Sampled wines at a nice overlook of the Beaujolis area. Also sampled wines at the Guilliard family winery. Met the 11th generation owner and learned how they have produced winw for centuries. Great afternoon to an area we would never had visited otherwise.
