Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon

Discover the charm of southern Beaujolais, often called the "Tuscany of France," with its rolling hills and picturesque hilltop villages made of golden stone. Just north of Lyon, this lush, hilly region is known for its famed Beaujolais Nouveau and golden-stone architecture. Join our driver-guide for a cultural and gourmet adventure, including an introduction to wine and a tasting session with a local winemaker. Travel through scenic landscapes where villages glow in warm golden stones. Enjoy an introduction to wine-tasting in a vaulted cellar, while learning about the “terroir” that makes each wine unique. Visit Oingt, a 12th-century village listed as one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages, and stroll its medieval streets. End your tour at a family-owned winery where the friendly winemaker shares his craft and offers a tasting with a traditional Lyon “mâchon” of local cold meats and cheeses.
