Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop atFleurie
First visit of the day to a Beaujolais winery. We make sure to choose a biodynamic, natural wine estate to start the day so that you can meet the current dynamics of Beaujolais, the new generation. The site is located in the heart of the 10 regional crus, including Fleurie, Morgon, Brouilly and Julienas . We'll spend around an hour with the winery, learning about its history and wines. Around 6 wines will be tasted, including an old vintage.
1 hours and 15 minutes (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atVillie-Morgon
Second visit of the day to a Beaujolais winery. For this second visit, we're opting for a winery that works the vines and vinification as it did in the 1970s and 1980s. This will give you an insight into the differences between the successive generations in the Beaujolais region. The site is located in the heart of the 10 regional crus, including Fleurie, Morgon, Brouilly and Julienas . We'll spend around an hour with the winery, learning about its history and wines. Around 6 wines will be tasted, including an old vintage.
1 hours and 15 minutes (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atMont Brouilly
It is a viewpoint at the top of a mountain, Mont Brouilly, which produces the Côte-de-Brouilly and Brouilly wines. It's a great way to understand why the Beaujolais terroirs are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
30 minutes (approx.)・Admission included
Stop atChateau de Montmelas
The final stage of the day. We'll be heading to the Château de Montmelas, built in the 13th century, for a private masterclass lunch that will take place throughout the afternoon. On arrival, the Château's owner will give you a short guided tour of the Château and provide you with information about historic Beaujolais. Depending on the weather, we'll spend the afternoon either in the gardens, which offer a royal view of the region, or in the historic salons by the open fires. This will be an opportunity to taste wines from the 1930s to the present day, and to discover a dozen cheeses and seasonal gourmet products. We want to offer you a unique, sensory experience, because we're convinced that emotions flow from a moment that stimulates all the senses.

Fantastic day in Beaujolais!

We had an incredible day in the Beaujolais region with Hugo! Everything was perfect — transportation, pace of each stop, quality of the itinerary. Hugo was a very informative and welcoming guide. The tour was the highlight of our trip in France. Would recommend to everyone!

Best wine tour ever
julielT7912AB, Dec 2024
By far the best wine tour of our lives. The winemakers we met have delicious wines, they're passionate about their craft and eager to share their knowledge, we're far from an orchestrated visit. A key element of the day, given that we were a family of 5, Hugo suggested that rather than a traditional lunch, we opt for a picnic in the vines with a blind tasting of 6 wines from old vintages paired with local produce (cheeses, charcuterie, bread, truffle butter) of the highest quality. A memorable day to remember.

Hugo put on an amazing tour for us, taking us to two biological (pesticide-free wineries) locations in the morning, a delicious lunch with an epic view, and a cool, local tasting room in the afternoon.
Across the board, we enjoyed the entire trip and will happily be looking to book another trip with Hugo when we come back in the future.

We booked a private tour (2 of us) with Hugo and he took us to three amazing spots where we had several samples. Hugo is very knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome and a part of the experience. The views and the wine were fantastic. Lunch was incredible and he went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience every place we went. From the wine to the food to the conversation it was more than we could hope for. We loved it so much we booked another tour with Hugo the next night. Book this tour!
