Iconic Vehicles Serving the Vineyard Legacy


Land Rover Defender: A Rolling Legend

Since 1948, Land Rover has embodied adventure, exploration, and rugged dependability. Originally crafted for farmers and explorers, Defenders have traveled through generations without losing their soul. Their instantly recognizable silhouette and ability to conquer any terrain have made them legendary vehicles, trusted by both vintners and global adventurers. Today, these storied machines continue writing history as they traverse the Beaujolais vineyards, bridging heritage and authenticity.


At Beaujolais Insiders, we've chosen vintage Land Rover Defenders not only for their durability and off-road capability but for what they represent: a rolling heritage rich with stories. These iconic vehicles have long been faithful companions to winemakers, navigating vineyard rows and the steep paths of Beaujolais. Today, they continue this tradition, offering our visitors an authentic immersion into the heart of wine country.

More Than Transportation: Tools for Discovery

Our Defenders aren't simply vehicles—they're discovery platforms perfectly aligned with our mission:

  • Versatility and accessibility: capable of navigating vineyard trails and ridgeline paths
  • Optimized capacity: transporting multiple guests to minimize environmental impact
  • Timeless design: speaking to all generations and evoking emotion

Preserving Automotive Heritage: An Ecological Commitment

In a world pushing endless consumption, we've committed to reuse and durability. Restoring and maintaining these legendary vehicles rather than producing new ones represents a powerful ecological choice:

  • Our Defenders travel fewer than 3,000 miles annually, minimizing their carbon footprint
  • Manufacturing a new vehicle—even electric—creates pollution far exceeding our entire year of tours
  • Each journey becomes a sustainable experience highlighting local connections and authenticity
