The ride in a nutshell
1️⃣ Get on a train from Lyon – courtesy ticket provided, or add a door-to-door transfer at checkout. You can also arrange your own travel to meet us in Beaujolais.
2️⃣ Explore the Entire Beaujolais region in a vintage Land Rover over a full day – enjoy a private guided adventure through stunning landscapes and private domaines where we've secured exclusive access. We'll take you through the best of what Beaujolais has to offer: private medieval castles, wineries, local craftsmen, local producers (honey, cheese, cold cuts, truffles, etc.). Beaujolais has 10 crus (top wines); we aim to cover all of them in this full day ride, allowing you to develop a true insider's understanding of the region's diverse terroirs.
3️⃣ See the vineyards, taste many local wines & cheeses – meet the winemakers themselves and discover their craft for a unique insight into the new wines they are elaborating. Through our intimate knowledge of the area, we've selected unique, little known and exclusive locations and venues, and we'll also show you the unmissable. Our ride includes plenty of wine tastings and we can also arrange a special delivery service for any wine you might want to buy on the day and wish to ship back home.
4️⃣ Discover the other gems of the region- we know this area like the back of our hand, and love to share the anecdotes, the little known facts and the roads less travelled. We'll open you the doors of private residences and locations and introduce you to the people.
5️⃣ Return to Lyon – by train (included) or optional car transfer.
🍷 🧀 🍇 🏰 We focus on what we love, which is typically food, wine, anecdotes, history, architecture, and landscapes. We'll go off-piste stop in a vineyard to open a few bottles of wine and taste local cold cuts and cheese with a gorgeous view of the region.
