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!!

Olivier is not just a wonderfully friendly tour guide. He is a true encyclopedia of wine and the history of the region. He brings the tour to life by giving you the history of the area and how the wine developed over time. Olivier has created personal relationships with each winery and it shows in the type of tasting you get. This is the opposite of mass commercial Napa style, tour bus winery tastings. It is a personalized, private tour where he connects what you are interested in learning with the experience. The wines were incredible and the restaurant was one of our best meals here. We will absolutely be booking again when we come back. Thank you so much Olivier!

Fantastic tour to see the Northern Rhône. Each winery brought something special to the tour and the stop for lunch was delicious. Olivier is super knowledgeable about the wines of the region and wines in general. It was a great to learn from him throughout the day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the Northern Rhône and learn more about wine.
