We had a great time. Really enjoyed both wineries and Olivier was very knowledgeable. We also stopped for panoramic views along the way. There were 8 of us so the van was full. Everyone had a seat but you get closer to the other passengers. It was definitely more vineyards than chateaux as a couple were flagged down on the way, but the wine tour is what I wanted.

What a wonderful experience. I had no idea that Beaujolais was such a beautiful wine region. Well explained by a guide who had plenty of time for us.

Our favorite part of the tour was being able to visit small cellars, with the owners telling our group about the history of their vineyards. Being able to understand the whole process step by step, and then being able to taste the wine was very interesting
I would highly recommend this tour to visitors for a very enjoyable afternoon full of history, excellent wines and meeting some very lovely people.

Olivier knows the wine-making process inside out, from vine to wine. He can explain the process in either English or French. The wineries we visited were very welcoming. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting southern Burgundy and discovering the wines produced here. We were very happy to be able to take this tour shortly after deconfinement, and we're glad we did!
