A day in the Northern Rhône Valley

5.00Private, perfect day in the Northern Rhône Valley. We visited a small biodynamic winegrower on the Condrieu hillsides, followed by a truly special tasting at Guigal — 10 wines, including the iconic La-Las. Lunch and the afternoon were spent in a private villa, just the six of us, enjoying a 1964 Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a 2001 Côte-Rôtie. A generous platter of local cheeses, specialties, and seasonal desserts completed the experience. We were able to take our time — exactly what we look for when we travel. Special mention for the impeccable transport and our driver, with whom we felt perfectly safe. Thank you to Hugo for organizing this timeless experience.

5.00A unique and exceptional Rhône Valley wine tour. We booked this trip following a pharmaceutical seminar in Lyon. A mix of neophytes and connoisseurs, everything went perfectly, we laughed, drank and enjoyed a magnificent villa throughout the afternoon. It was the best moment of our trip to France for most of us, and one we're sure to remember.
Unique wine tour, well done

5.00We enjoyed a private wine tour of the Rhône Valley that we consider exceptional, given that we are wine enthusiat and travel partly for the wine. The morning's two meetings were instructive, with visits to Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Crozes-Hermitage. A dozen wines were tasted alongside passionate winemakers. As a bonus, Hugo, the guide and founder of the company, brought along a bottle of Cornas 1983 and a Côte-Rôtie 2006 to help us understand the evolution of Syrah over time. For lunch, we went to the Villa that Hugo had told us about... a place cut off from the world, it's unique. We spent 3 hours drinking surprising wines with sensible explanations, while tasting a dozen high-quality cheeses and charcuterie (I ate the best cheese of my life that day). Our family had a fantastic time, it's a top-of-the-range service that aims to make you dream.
Perfect wine trip

5.00Three days exploring the French vineyards, perfectly organized by Hugo. The choice of wineries, lunches and wines is always well thought out and explained. My husband and I can only recommend that you trust Hugo and his team to look after your vacation in France.
