Great introduction to Northern Rhône wines

5.00This was a wonderful introduction to the Northern Rhône! We visited two wineries - the first was a much older and more established winery where we toured the facilities and did a guided tasting of 6 wines with some very light nibbles (bread, cheese, meat). Well priced bottles - I bought one to take home for €25. The second stop was a much newer producer who started during covid. It was interesting to learn about how they have started and navigating the complex legal requirements for wines in the region. We tasted four of their five wines and bought another for €13 which we enjoyed by the river in Lyon later that day. Our guide, Eddy, was knowledgeable and friendly, interpreting for the producers when needed. Highly recommend as a half-day experience to learn more about the region’s wines!
Very informative about wines

4.00Perfect for a half day trip to learn about northern Rhône wines. We learned a lot. Our guide Francois was knowledgeable and pleasant. The meeting location was super easy and the drive out to the wineries pleasant. The tour description mentions the Roman ruins of Vienne. There was no mention of this during our tour. . We did not see it at all. So that was misleading. Overall, a worthwhile trip if you are wanting to do something outside of Lyon that is easy. We really enjoyed learning more about the northern Rhône wines!
