Overview

Guidekin summary

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.

From the guide

Discover the charm of southern Beaujolais, often called the "Tuscany of France," with its rolling hills, vineyards and picturesque villages built from warm golden stone. Just north of Lyon, this lush, hilly region is also celebrated worldwide as the birthplace of Beaujolais Nouveau.

Join our driver-guide for a cultural and gourmet adventure through scenic wine landscapes and panoramic roads in the Pierres Dorées area. As you travel through vineyards and valleys, admire views over the famous golden-stone villages and learn about the “terroir” that makes each appellation unique.

Your first stop will take you to a charming family-run winery in the heart of the Pierres Dorées, where you will meet the producer, visit the estate and enjoy a tasting with a traditional mâchon of local cold meats and cheeses.

You will then continue towards Montmelas, in the Beaujolais Villages appellation, to visit a second family-owned winery and enjoy a generous tasting of authentic Beaujolais wines.
