Programme

Afternoon

Vienne City, Cote Rotie and Condrieu Wines

At 2:00 pm, your 8-seater minibus leaves Bellecour Square in Lyon to the Northern Cotes du Rhone wine region. En route, stop in Vienne city to enjoy a spectacular view on the 2000 year’s old roman theatre and the stunning panorama on the Rhone Valley. With your Lyon wine guide, learn about "terroir", the geography, Cote Rotie, Condrieu and St Joseph wine appellations.

Then, cross Ampuis town, the world capital of Shiraz grape and visit "Cote Rotie" vineyards literally "roasted hillside". Drive on the precipitous vertigo inducing terraced slopes of "Cote Brune" and "Cote Blonde" and appreciate the 30 to 60 degree angles hills bathed in sun facing the beautiful Rhône River.

Later drive through Condrieu, birth town of Viognier grape which produces the world famous Cotes du Rhone white wine. The group will get to know its unique story, how this grape varietal almost died a few years ago.

Wine Tasting

Cote Rotie, Condrieu & St Joseph wine-tasting at 2 Rhone vineyards

Push the door of a first family Cotes du Rhone winery and enjoy a private tour: learn some secrets about the unique Rhone wine-making savoir-faire and the art of wine barrel aging.

Then, taste 5 different Cotes du Rhone wines among them, some Condrieu, St Joseph or/and Cote Rotie crus appellations.

Finally, stop at a second winery to delight yourself with another 5 beautiful Rhone wines: take time to enjoy the intense aromatic Viognier and the quasi absolute perfection of Shiraz grape of the Northern Cotes du Rhone wine in their original terroir.

A wine tour from Lyon Not to Miss for the Shiraz & Viognier lovers!

We visited Lyon in October 2018 and booked this tour to see some of the nearby wine regions and try our hand at wine tasting. The tour was surprisingly good, with a knowledgeable and very friendly guide. We visited several vineyards and tasted lots of good wines. It's exciting to hear about the history of the Syrah grape and to visit the region that is supposed to be the origin of this wonderful grape :)

We've been on several wine-tasting tours and this was definitely the best one. Olivier outing together and superb itinerary for the Northern Rhône. 3 exceptional wineries, all offering first-rate tastings. It was obvious that he knew his way around. Instead of their standard tour, we had Olivier's insider version. In the barrel cellars, special wines that weren't on the tasting list, and so on. He knew which varietals were best at each location and occasionally tasted with us, offering his assessment. In addition, he took us to visit some incredibly beautiful viewpoints on Cote Roti and Hermitage, which made for sensational images as souvenirs.

He also joined us for an exceptional lunch where we had the chance to tour the city. He gave us many historical perspectives on the region, the wines and the cuisine.

Above all, Olivier was incredibly friendly and personable. We felt like we had made a friend rather than a tour guide! I can't say enough about our experience!

We spent the day on an eight-person tour of the northern Côtes du Rhône, visiting three wineries with Kanpai Tours led by Olivier. It was a wonderful experience full of detailed information about the region, the vineyards and the wines produced in the area. Olivier is very knowledgeable but conveys information in a relaxed and understandable way. The highlights for me were the intimate walk through a vineyard and discussion with its owner, as well as the great wine we tasted throughout the day. A great way to spend a day, I highly recommend this tour.

We had such a great wine tour experience led by Olivier of Kanpai Tourisme! We are a family of seven who were visiting Lyon from San Francisco/Boston and we were interested in exploring the Côtes du Rhône region. The afternoon tour took us through some beautiful sites in the northern part of the region, and we tried Syrahs and Viogniers from two great wineries. It was such an educational, scenic, and fun afternoon. Olivier was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We booked the half-day Syrah wine tour with Oliver and were delighted we did. The 4.5-hour trip included two scenic stops for photos and two contrasting vineyards with tastings. Oliver was driver, guide and wine expert all rolled into one, and did an excellent job. Highly recommended trip.

An amazing experience for all wine lovers. Olivier is an outstanding guide. He has a great attitude, fun personality, and all around great person. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in wine but the history of the regions. Not only do you learn more than you can imagine about wine he revels the story of the surrounding regions and historical significance
