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. ## Overview 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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: The Tourist Office is in the middle of… - Starts 09:00, 14:00: 2 departures a day - Food included: Wine tasting, Food tasting - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available ## Key facts - Price: from €99 per person - Duration: 4h - Rating: 4.67/5 from 181 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 93% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Tasty Lyon ## What's included - Shared tour - Wine tasting - Professional driver/guide - Transport by air-conditioned minivan - Food tasting - In France, alcohol consumption is forbidden for those under 18, and legal guardians must ensure compliance.
