  Olivier 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 !

  We 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!

  Olivier was amazing! 10/10 would recommend this private day tour to the Rhône valley. Coming from the US, know it is not your typical “US wine tour.” The wineries are not open like they are in the US and require advance reservations. We would not have been able to do this our our own without a guide. Olivier knew all of the owners for each winery we stopped at it was his business/personal relationship with each individual that makes this tour so unique. It was one of the best days of our France trip so far and would come back and tour Burgundy with him, if the opportunity presents itself. Bonus is Olivier is a great individual to spend the day with and is super intelligent/knowledgeable about wines. Book now!!
