Overview

Guidekin summary

A full day in the Côtes du Rhône from a meeting point on Place Bellecour, by minivan to the estates where the winemakers themselves pour and talk terroir. Tasting doses are small by design, lunch is at your own expense, and the day runs in all weather. 4.77 from 172 reviews at €159 per person.

From the guide

Meet your guide at the tourism office, Place Bellecour central Lyon and get aboard his minivan for a wonderful day in the Côtes du Rhône world. The northern part of the Rhône valley is reputed for its exceptional wines, several of them being classed amongst the finest in France. On this intimate tour we will give both winemaker and you the wine taster the opportunity to meet up and share a few words about terroir. You will taste the best wines of the region and see beautiful vine landscapes !
