Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Private Tour - Half Day

We did two private tours with Kanpai and both were outstanding. The first was the full day Annecy and Perouges Tour and the second was the half day Beaujolais Wine Discovery Tour. Olivier is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. In Annecy he guided us through the town hitting the most import sites and providing us with an historical background. The boat tour of Lake Annecy that was included provided us with picturesque view of the mountains surrounding it as well as its lakeside villages. On the way back to Lyon we toured the medieval city of Perouges which included a stop at the Hostellerie du Vieux Pérouges Restaurant to sample a Galette de Pérouges, We were back at our hotel in Lyon in time for dinner. Olivier provided us with some great restaurant options for our remaining days in Lyon, As mentioned we also took the private half day Beaujolais Wine Discover Tour with Olivier as well a few days later. Another outstanding authentic experience. The drive through the Tuscan like countryside and the stop at the town of Oingt was magical. Because it was the Christmas season we were able to experience the nativity scenes each house creates and displays for visitors. One of the wine tastings was in Oingt at Terroir Des Pierres Dorées - Cave à vins Beaujolais. The other was at a small local producer Domaine de Fond-Vieille where we were greeted by the owner and his wife and were able to tour the vineyard and the wine make facilities as well as have an excellent tasting with local bread, cheese and sausage accompanying it. I can't recommend Olivier and Kanpai enough. His tours were a major highlight of our 23 days in France. We would not hesitate to take another private tour with him.

Had a great afternoon with Olivier in the Beaujolais region: we tasted different wines, saw many highlights of the region and got interesting explanations from Olivier. We definitely recommend taking a tour with Kanpai.

We did a private full day tour of the Beaujolais region… it was quite simply fantastic. We visited to family owned wineries (5 tastings at each) inbetween we visited a picturesque small town, stopped for photos and had a delicious lunch. The entire day was perfect, definitely a highlight of our trip. Huge thank you to Olivier!!

We booked with Olivier for two 1/2 day wine tours in 2 regions. He explained well in English to us the sites and the wines, and we visited 2 wineries each day. He has an excellent knowledge of the wines of this regions, the soils, their varieties, and has very good personal connections with several of the wineries and staff. The van of 8 persons was comfortable and demonstrated good driving skills and choosing the routings. On both tours all of us were very satisfied with the experience and highly recommend his tours and skills. My wife and I are 80 YO and from CA wine region and have had many wine tours and this was very excellent. I recommend touring with Olivier and had we more time we would have gladly chosen some more for his quality and their value. stan and maurine of Los Altos CA
