Geführte Tagestour und Weinprobe im nördlichen Rhône-Tal

Justine was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the region. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wine tour near Lyon!

Justine’s exceptional reputation as a guide for the whole day tour of the northern Rhône was truly confirmed by the wonderful experience that she provided for us and 5 other people. Her deep knowledge of the Rhône wine region as well as her established relationships with the 3 wine producers that we visited really enhanced the tour. The tours were to Guigal where she had worked for several years, Anthony and Antoine Perez (she worked with Antoine at Guigal previously), and Domaine Saint Clair. All the visits involved thoughtful tastings that featured the best of the producers and talks that were very helpful for understanding the unique characteristics of the Cote Rotie, Condrieu, and Saint Joseph regions. The first tasting was held in the serene wooded garden of Guigal which made for an excellent start to the day. Her upbeat and energetic personality as well as thoughtfulness for everyone’s comfort also made the difference and never flagged during the dat even though she was also driving the whole time and dealing with heavy traffic at times as well as an unexpected bicycle race delay in Tournon. Lunch at Tournesol was well chosen with its French-Thai along with the ability to pair well with Rhône wines such as Cornas and Hermitage blanc. We cannot imagine a better orientation to the northern Rhône wines than what we had with Justine!

Justine was exceptional. Her knowledge of wine and history made the experience perfect. The wineries visited were representative of each region. Our group was very diverse and that made the experience very interesting. Transportation was clean and comfortable. Lunch stop was good example of typical French cuisine and not expensive. I would highly recommend.

Justine takes this tour to a whole other level by engaging with the group in a very friendly and inviting way. You will learn about wine as well. Justine has a very strong education on that topic and is incredibly knowledgeable on all aspects of wine making and beyond. The scenic views, friendly staff, and good wine make this booking a no brainer.

It is an incredible experience, highly recommended and of very high quality. The guide has complete knowledge of the activity and performs it with great agility. A unique wine experience at a high level; without a doubt, it is a highly recommended tour, with excellent price and quality!

A great experience! My husband and I lived the experience as part of our honeymoon. From the beginning to the end of the tour, the attention was spectacular; seeing the terraces of the vineyards was beautiful. At all times, the explanation was very thorough, and they answered all our questions; our guide was super kind and attentive, with extensive knowledge of the world of wine and in general of the area we visited. The tastings at each vineyard were very well detailed and explained; each producer was thorough with their products, all very kind. The wines are a delight, and when they explain in detail the philosophy behind everything from planting, processes, care, and the quality of production, you really understand the valley better. On the way, the views of the Rhône River are formidable, beautiful places to visit. The restaurant where we were taken for lunch was a delicious culinary experience, with good products, very good flavors, and the service was super friendly. The view of the river from the restaurant was beautiful, and the price was totally worth the quality of the food and wines. The transportation was very comfortable. Without a doubt, it was a highly recommendable experience that we would gladly repeat.

It has been a very enjoyable and informative tour. We visited three very beautiful yet different wineries and tasted multiple red and white wines. Justine is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We learned great things about wine production, local history and France in general. We also met local wine producers who were happy to share their passion for wines and local traditions. Justine brought us for a lunch to a place well known by the people who live in the area but not often frequented by the tourists. This was very enjoyable too. My wife and I would highly recommend Justine and would join her future tours again with great pleasure.

Justine did an amazing job shepherding us through 3 different wineries, each of a different scale allowing us to compare and contrast between them. There were plenty of wines to taste and Justine’s attention to detail was excellent. The lunch stop was a hidden gem.

Excellent tour. Justine is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about the field and the region. The winemakers were all very generous.
