An informative tour of two wineries in the Rhone Valley. Justine is a wealth of knowledge. I would recommend this tour.
Justine is an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She is warm, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with wine. Her French and English are both excellent, and apparently she speaks some Spanish as well! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a fun, relaxed, and unpretentious wine tasting experience in Lyon
Fantastic, knowledgeable and nice guide who took us on a varied tasting of wine from North Rhône.
I can’t recommend booking this tour highly enough. Justine provides you with all the important information about the meet-up in advance. During the tour, she makes a point of involving everyone present, which is lovely. We made a total of two stops for wine tastings. As a result, by the end we had a good overview of the different varieties and types of wine. Justine consistently shared her expert knowledge throughout, both about the wine and the wine region.
Great experience wine tasting with our guide, Justine. The wines were great and the vibe was relaxed and friendly. Definitely recommend this small group tour!
Justine is very knowledgeable about the wines in the region and gave us a good presentation in English.
I don’t think this trip could have been improved. Timing was spot on, vehicle was comfortable, choice of wineries was perfect and tastings were casual yet informative. Justine was a wonderful guide and as she organises and hosts all the tours personally, you are guaranteed to get the same experience. Not worth looking elsewhere.
Wonderful day in beautiful area. Informative, but mostly fun. Great way to see the region. Would recommend to anyone wanting see a bit of the area and explore the wine.
Justine was a fantastic guide! She is knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly passionate about the wine industry. She went above and beyond to make our tour amazing and informative. We tasted lots of wines and enjoyed the beautiful region of the Rhône Valley. This tour was perfect for me as a wine newbie and my mom who knows much more about wines. The pickup/dropoff was also very convenient in the Place Bellecour and there was so much to explore nearby. I’ll take another tour with Justine as soon as I can return to Lyon!
Guide arrived one hour late showing off our dining plans. First winery was less than friendly or informative. Second location had us climbing up a rocky unstable path which was hazardous for flat shoes worn by ladies. Wines were mediocre at best. Do not recommend.
