The south of Bourgogne/Burgundy produces white wine, it's a region known as Mâconnais which is the border with beaujolais region.
The area's first source of income is wine, it's not an industry, it's a lifestyle as there are mainly small producers who are free to create in their own style as long as they stay within limits defined by the industry.
We've been coming here forever, we know the ins and outs of the area and we take pride in being the friend of a friend you'd like to have in a place you didn't know.
We travel too and we hate being treated as tourists but we love being travelers. That's what we hope to do for you!

The best tour I have ever been on! It would be hard to summarise in words how good it was. It was the perfect mix of tasting fabulous wine, while relaxing, chatting and enjoying the french countryside. All the places we visited were a different experience making the day varied. The tasting was relaxed without the hard sell and expecting us to purchase. We also learnt so much about the region and the wine preparation. Insiders were incredibly accommodating to our needs, allowing us to bring our puppies with us and making sure we could visit places that allowed dogs, advising on which trains to catch etc. The tour was so well thought through and felt incredibly personalised. I could not recommend enough, I only wish we had done the full day tour!

The tour was awesome and I was introduced to Mâconnais wines. Since I ended up being the only person on the tour, I also was able to do Beaujolais tastings.

We were 9 people, so we drove in two cars. Both drivers were very friendly, spoke English well, and provided interesting information and answered questions during the tour. The tour included wine tasting in two different places, as well as a stop for a wonderful view of the surrounding area. The car drive also provided a nice view of the countryside. The first wine tasting offered an interesting insight into how the same grape can give different tasting wines depending on the growing conditions. The second wine tasting was in a beautiful and cosy garden, and was accompanied by some delicious cheeses. Overall, we are all very happy with the experience, and would strongly recommend this tour.
