16 tours · €99–€490 per person · ★ 4.9
Day trips from Lyon mean wine country, and the 16 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €99 per person for a half day in Beaujolais or the Northern Rhône by minivan to €490 per vehicle for a private day with your own driver. Nearly every day tour from Lyon follows the same shape: an eight seat minibus, two or three estate visits, tastings with a snack, and a stop in a village or, on one tour, the medieval town of Pérouges.
A quick way to choose: half day or full day, because the half days leave the afternoon free while the full days run until early evening, lunch is not in the price on the shared tours, and there is no hotel pickup, so you meet in the city. Most minibuses have no toilet on board, some ask you to bring your own water, and the private Land Rover days serve grape juice to under eighteens. The best reviewed day trips from Lyon come first below.
