Privé wijntour van een halve dag vanuit Lyon in Beaujolais

What a fantastic day with Amelie! Very well planned and coordinated. Amelie picked us up at the train station and our first winery stop started in the vineyards and progressed to the tastings and then the winery operations. We actually changed to the full day tour that allowed us to visit three wineries and have lunch with one of the winemakers. Amelie and the winemakers were all very informative and knowledgeable about the entire Beaujolais area and helped us understand the complicated French classification and bottle labeling system. The tastings took place where they make their wines. Note that this is a completely different experience from the mega wineries/wine showrooms - you visit family wineries producing very limited quantities of excellent wines that the actual winemakers describe and explain why they taste the way they do. A great learning experience. Highly recommend.

We had such a special experience on our honeymoon. Melanie and the team went above and beyond. Would recommend to all!

Mélanie was fantastic! We had a great time tasting at two vineyards and exploring Beaujolais. We learned a lot about the process and the differences between the terroirs and appellations. Highly recommend!

A fantastic private tour. Our guide, Clemence, was wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries we visited were hosted by the owners , providing great insights into the details of producing excellent wines. Highly recommended!!!

Benoit’s wine tour was the highlight of our Lyon trip and worth every penny. He crafted a unique experience based on our wine preferences. He even asked what types of local cheese we would like to sample with the last tasting. He took us to 2 wineries, one a small, family owned and the other a larger production. We learned about the wines of the area, explored the caves & production areas, then enjoyed tasting of several wines. The 4 hour tour flew by! Total trip time is about 6 hours including transportation to/from the train station to hotel. Things to note: The vintage Range Rover with the rag top was fun, so dress appropriately for getting in and out of the back. Chilled water was provided for the hot day. Bring a backpack or strong bag to carry some wine on the train because you will want to purchase these beautiful wines. Benoit planned ahead with us, meet us on the train platform, and got us back to the station . A truly customized & private wine experience as only my friend and I were on the tour. We opted for fewer wineries due to the heat, but honestly it allowed for an in-depth experience and even time with one of the owners who shared his family’s history of wine making. Priceless!

Elodie was an excellent guide! Very knowledgable and personable - she wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible. I would highly recommend this tour!

What a spectacular tour! The individual attention was above expectations. The time with the wine maker (and his happy dog) was informative and tasty. Melanie was one of the best guides yet.

Amelie at BI is a knowledgeable and nice person, and took us on a bumpy ride to wine tasting and the better cellar to explore local wine. Up from Macon. Very interesting and relaxing and a good quiet lunch. All my recommendations for all. I will come back for a longer tour preferably at Baune. Al my best to BI and Amelie. Thanx.

We had an excellent experience with Benoit on our Insiders tour. Ben truly customized the day to our preferences and made everything feel seamless. I had mentioned that I’d love to taste a rosé, even though it’s not the primary wine of the region, and Ben went above and beyond by surprising us with two winery stops that both offered rosé tastings. Ben was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area and its wines. Both winery visits were fantastic, and we only wished we had room to bring home even more wine. The classic Land Rover was such a fun and memorable part of the experience. We know it can’t be the easiest vehicle to drive, but it added so much charm to the day. Ben also took us to several beautiful spots beyond the tastings, kindly offered to take photos for us, and was especially helpful with translation throughout the day, which made everything much easier and more enjoyable. We were genuinely sad when the tour ended and wished we had booked a longer experience to spend more time exploring with Ben. If we return to Lyon, we would absolutely book another tour with him without hesitation. Highly recommend! That ending makes it feel especially authentic and enthusiastic.

Our full-day tour of the Beaujolais wine country with Insiders Experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish! We had asked to see local castles and learn about the region’s wines, and our guide Thomas went above and beyond to tailor the day perfectly to our wishes. We visited two magnificent castles that are also working wineries, enjoyed private tastings, and met local winemakers — including the only French conservator of ancient vine varieties. It was a fascinating and intimate way to learn about the winemakers’ craft and passion firsthand. The scenery throughout the day was breathtaking, with rolling vineyards, charming villages, and stunning panoramic views. Lunch was another highlight — a tucked-away épicerie serving delicious traditional dishes paired with a selection of organic wines. Thomas was simply fantastic: energetic, deeply knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. He made sure the experience felt personal and seamless from beginning to end. A truly memorable day that exceeded all expectations! Thank you, Thomas, for making our Beaujolais adventure so special. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to discover the beauty, culture, and wines of Beaujolais.
