Guidekin's take

A full day in the Northern Rhône with tastings in three different areas and around a dozen wines, meeting estate members along the way in a comfortable Mercedes.

A table is reserved for the group at a local restaurant but lunch is paid on the spot; bring your own water. 5 from 66 reviews at €169 per person.

Best for: Condrieu to Tain-l'Hermitage, three estate tastings and a local guide by van in 8h 30m at €169 per person; lunch bought on the way. 5, 66 reviews. Rhône Valley Wine Tours comparison

Trade-off: Lunch not included; no toilet on board.
