Great Day in the Rhône Valley!
Thomas_M, Dec 2024
Tour guide Arnaud provided a full day of Rhône Valley activity, coupling it with his obvious wine knowledge and passion. His attention to detail and his first class treatment of his passengers was outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed the experience immensely.
The Best Wine Tour in France
Robalau1, Dec 2024
This is the ultimate Wine Tour, not only in the Rhone Valley, but in all of France (I´ve done many). Not cheap, but worth every penny. The guide, Arnaud, is a real expert in wines and the Rhone Region, also super nice and friendly. This was a total immersion in the french culture, with not only great wines (many!), but also great food, great places and people. Allez-y Arnaud!
Fun in Northern Rhône Valley

A variety of excellent, carefully selected local experiences you would otherwise not see. Highly recommended day trips with guides who are knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be with.

Amazing day in Rhone
melanie g, Dec 2024
Incredible full day private tour through the breathing Rhone region. I drink a lot wine and have been on many tours and this by far was the best. The lunch included in my tour was at a quaint restaurant, which was the best meal I had on my entire trip to France. The chef & his wife are lovely, thank you so much for my exquisite vegetarian masterpiece. Arnaud is the best host, professional, super knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Amazing day!!! Thank you so much!!

Exceptional day to repeat
L2582GKmichaelw, Dec 2024
Looking for a kdo for my dad who loves taste discovery, we fell into the hands of Arnaud for an exceptional day.
In a small group (no more than 8 passengers) the journey begins with flying colors....presentation; questions about wine and vines...ARNAUD, takes control and structures this long discussion seasoned with information, details, explanations which make us understand all the passion and knowledge which invades us.
Little touches, attentive service, organized from morning to evening, excellent restaurant at lunchtime and so on, I can't say it all....but frankly it was great from start to finish.
Domaine Barges is 😱😱😱😱😱EXCELLENT MAGICAL for
I learned a lot of things
I'm still learning.
I highly recommend it and I'm going to explore again because Arnaud has more than one trick up his sleeve.
Other areas, other vines, other tastings but the same organizer....to the rhythm of the vines.
