5.00An unforgettable day exploring the Northern Rhône, a region where dramatic granite slopes define its exceptional wines. This tour was a deep dive into the area’s heart, perfectly paced with a great selection of producers. From the elegant Côte-Rôtie to the powerful Hermitage, and the fascinating history behind labels, we experienced the true essence of each appellation. A must-do experience for anyone passionate about wine!

5.00Olivier was a great tour guide. He was enjoyable to spend the day with and has a deep understanding of wine and wine production. With Olivier you get not only a driver and scheduled wine visits but in depth discussion of the wines and regions visited as well. Highly recommended for those who appreciate wine and wine region exploration.
Best day !

5.00We had the pleasure of spending a full day with Olivier exploring the beautiful Vallée du Rhône, and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to the region. Our tour included visits to three vineyards, two of which were in the famed Côte-Rôtie area. It quickly became clear that Olivier’s relationships with these winemakers run deep—these weren’t standard tourist stops, but personal connections. We had the impression that each vineyard welcomed us as a favor to Olivier, which made the experience feel truly special and exclusive. Olivier’s knowledge of the Rhône Valley, its history, culture, and especially its wines, was exceptional. I have always loved Côte-Rôtie wines, but seeing where the vines grow—on steep, rocky hillsides, baking in the full sun—has given me a new appreciation for them. I also now fully understand where the name comes from! Each vineyard was incredibly generous, not only with their tastings but also with their time. They shared insights into their winemaking process, the challenges of the business, and the family traditions behind their bottles. Between the tastings, Olivier brought us to a charming little bistro for a delicious lunch (with, of course, more wine). The tour was truly a full package: pick-up and drop-off right from our accommodation in Lyon, comfortable travel between locations, and engaging conversation throughout. Time in the car with Olivier was a pleasure—beyond wine, we spoke about French culture, family life, and even shared some laughs about his years living in Montreal, which made the day feel even more personal. This wasn’t just a wine tour; it was a day immersed in the people, places, and stories that make the Rhône Valley unique. Olivier’s expertise, warmth, and personal connections elevated the experience well beyond our expectations. Worth every penny and then some. Merci, Olivier!
Loved it!
