Must-do wine tour if visiting Lyon!
G9171AAmiac, Dec 2024
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!
Great guide, amazing wine, and a must do in Lyon
Rich_paden, Dec 2024
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
Perfect experience!

Olivier was a wonderful and extremely knowledgeable guide and tour operator. His knowledge of the region and wines was impressive. He was very accommodating, punctual and answered all of our questions with ease. He also speaks perfect English which was a huge plus for our group. We all felt that this was one of our highlights of our visit to Lyon. The Mercedes 8 passenger van was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend his tours.
Thanks to Justine! A wonderul and informative tour
Roseanne G, Dec 2024
Justine was our tour guide, and did such a great job of explaining the wine growing process from start to end. She was one of the best guides I've ever had...attentive, helpful, going way beyond her scope of duty to assist...even making phone calls in French for me, to help with a mix up with another company. Thank you, Justine, for making this a great day. Your information made it all worthwhile.
A Wonderful Tour in Wine Country
JillW_D, Dec 2024
Olivier was an excellent guide and a master at herding our wandering family. It was delightful being out in the countryside and seeing the historic division of vineyards, with the grape vines standing straight and proud in the sunlight. We enjoyed both of the hosts who gave us detailed information about how the vines are nurtured and what happens to the grapes before they are bottled. A great day!
