5.00The tour was just great! 🍷 The selection of wineries was perfectly coordinated – each had its own charm and wonderful wines to offer. The competence and warmth of our tour guide was particularly impressive: She has made the day a real experience with her knowledge, her likeable nature and many exciting stories. The 8.5 hours have flown by – an unforgettable trip for all wine lovers! 🍇✨

5.00We enjoyed every winery —each had its own personality and speciality in their wine region/appellation. Best of all was our guide. She has worked for wineries in this area for many years. She know the wines, the regions, the staff/owners and history. We loved the small group —very personal touch to the tour. And lunch along the Rhône River was excellent.
Fantastic wine tour

5.00Not only was Justine knowledgeable about French Wines and Wines of the Rhône Valley but, she pointed out landmarks and provided some history of the area. She made me feel like a VIP! Justine’s van was very comfortable. The snacks she provided for the tastings were locally sourced and delicious. The restaurant where we had lunch was superb. Oh and yes, the wine we tasted at E.Guigal, Corps de Loup, and Domaine Saint Clair were AMAZING!
Lovely way to spend a day near Lyon
