The perfect day in Beaujolais
Lauren_Z, Dec 2024
We had the best day touring Boujelais with our guide, Aldric. Beautiful scenery, architecture, wine, lunch, and company! Aldric was attentive to our tastes and the tour felt very personalised based on our preferences. I loved that we could get insights into working family wineries, so special! We would not hesitate to recommend this tour and company to all of our friends.

Very nice trip in the countryside near Lyon in Beaujolais. Tasted wine, food and met nice people while enjoying a beautiful landscape view in the rover.

More than a tour; an experience
Eyad_I, Dec 2024
We had the most amazing time during this tour ! Amelie, our tour guide, really showed us a side of the French wine coutry that we would never have gotten to experience otherwise, set against the roaring engine of the coolest Land Rover you've ever been in.
We got to see three different types of wineries; one with beautiful grounds and a high-end experience, one with an ambitious upstart who's entire mission is to produce increadible wines, and another that was a family run operation for 5 generations. Each one had wine that was amazing, and Amelie was a gracious guide who helped us not only discover the wines of Beaujolais, but also forge real connections with the wine makers. She took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch, were we got to try even other Beaujolais wines from the other Crus that we didn't get to taste at the wineries.
Overall, we managed to try some of the most spectacular wines from each of the 10 Crus. To top it all off, Amelie brought us to a beautiful hiltop within a vinyard where we were able to take a quite moment to relax, reflect, and just savor the moment. If we could do this tour again for the first time, we wouldn't hesistate, but honestly next time we're in the area we might just do it again, because this was more than a tour, it was an experience.

Eyad, what a review! Thank you so much!!! Amelie's a star and we're blessed to have her on the team.
Enjoy the rest of your stay in France if you're still around and you can be sure that we'll be ready when you're next in France (or Morocco where we also operate)
Until then, safe travels!
Getting boujee in Beaujolais
D7316HTdennist, Dec 2024
We're a little late in writing this review as we were in France for the Olympics. We were in Lyon, France for a few days and spent one day with Amelie touring various vineyards, speaking with wine makers, tasting local cheeses, enjoyed a Michelin starred lunch and even a surprise/bonus stop to tour a collection of vintage motorcycles (once she learned we were both avid cyclers ourselves). We couldn't have asked for a better day with great stories, beautiful views, and a fantastic guide.

That is an olympic level review! Thank you so much for taking a moment to post it and you are right: Amelie is a rock star and we're blessed to have her on the team.
We hope you'll be back for more before the next olympics!
Until then, safe travels!

Wonderful wine tour of the Beaujolais region by friendly and knowledgeable guides. We had a behind the scenes visit directly with the wine makers. And rumbling around in the Land Rover made a memory our group won’t soon forget! Thank you Insiders!
