Discover Beaujolais with a passionate insider on this private and off-the-beaten-path tour by vintage vehicle. Taste wine and food, visit wineries typically closed to tourists and get access to hidden gems. 400€ for 1 to 3 people, 100€ per extra person.


Getting to Beaujolais from Lyon

Your Beaujolais half day wine tour starts in Lyon. We’ll send you train tickets in advance — the fastest and smoothest way to reach the heart of the region. Prefer a more private option? You can upgrade to a car transfer during booking, or meet us directly in Beaujolais if you’re already in the area.

What to Expect on Your Beaujolais Half Day Wine Tour

This Beaujolais half day wine tour offers an authentic introduction to the region’s winemaking culture, led by a passionate local Insider. You’ll hop into a vintage Land Rover and head out along scenic backroads through the northern hills of Beaujolais, home to some of its most iconic crus.

You’ll visit two hand-picked wineries, both typically closed to the general public. Each stop offers a unique perspective on local traditions and exceptional wines. One of the visits includes a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the winemaking process.

Weather permitting, the tour includes a chic outdoor tasting in the vineyards, where you’ll enjoy wines paired with local treats, surrounded by stunning views.

Depending on your interests, your Insider may also guide you to a few cultural gems along the way — a quiet chapel nestled in the vines, or even a privately owned medieval château opened exclusively for us.

At the end of your tour, you’ll return to Lyon — by train or private car, depending on the option selected.
