A half day among the golden stone villages of southern Beaujolais, the Pierres Dorées, with a driver guide, a shared air conditioned minivan and both wine and food tastings on the route.

Lunch and hotel pickup are not included, and bottled water is no longer provided, so bring a refillable one. 4.67 from 181 reviews at €99 per person.
