A memorable experience

The trip to the Beaujolais region was a memorable experience despite the bad weather. Our guide Rachel made the most of it giving us lots of information and fun facts and kept the energy up. The wine we tasted at the winery lived up to the expectations and made the trip a truly unforgettable experience.
Great Tour

We totally enjoyed our Beaujolais wine tour. Virginia our tour guide was excellent and offered really interesting information about the area and the history of Beaujolais. The winery we visited Domaine Des Averlys located in the heart of the area was welcoming and a great example of a family estate The 18th century wine cellar vault was an experience in itself.

Amazing Golden Stones Beaujolais tour!

Had an amazing tour with Wladimir (born and raised in Beaujolais!), who is an excellent guide and wine expert. He educated us on French wine in general, then treated us to local wines and amazing scenery, ending with a visit to a small Beaujolais winery where the owner, Etienne, explained the wine making process on the vineyard, and then treated us to four different types of Beaujolais wine with some local snacks. Wladimir went above and beyond to accommodate us, which made for a truly special day in France. Merci beaucoup!!!!
