Experience the best of two worlds in one extraordinary day: journey from the prestigious domains of Southern Burgundy to the hidden gems of Beaujolais, all guided by a passionate local insider. This exclusive ride crosses regional boundaries to give you a comprehensive taste of France's diverse wine heritage. You'll gain privileged access to 2-3 hand-picked wineries, typically closed to the public, and taste exceptional crus that showcase the distinctive character and fascinating contrasts between these neighboring yet remarkably different wine regions.

1️⃣ Get on a train from Lyon – courtesy ticket provided. We include train tickets from and back to Lyon, timetable and directions, or can arrange your journey to our starting point if you prefer to travel independently.

2️⃣ Explore Southern Burgundy and Beaujolais in a vintage Land Rover over a full day – indulge in a private guided adventure through spectacular landscapes and exclusive domaines where we've secured privileged access. We are local and know the place like the back of our hand, ensuring you get an experience unavailable to the general public.

3️⃣ Immerse yourself in the terroir, taste distinctive wines & artisanal products – meet the winemakers themselves and discover their craft for a unique insight into the winemaking process. Gain behind-the-scenes understanding from these dedicated artisans and learn the carefully guarded secrets behind their craftsmanship. And of course taste wines at every opportunity.

4️⃣ Discover the hidden treasures of the region- for enthusiasts of history, terroir, or local traditions, we open doors to privately owned medieval châteaux exclusively for your visit or introduce you to artisanal producers creating the finest regional specialties. Our intimate knowledge of the area reveals hidden gems that remain inaccessible to typical tourists.

5️⃣ Return to Lyon – by train (included) or optional car transfer.

🍷 🧀 🍇 🏰 We curate experiences around what we're passionate about: exceptional food, distinctive wines, fascinating anecdotes, rich history, remarkable architecture, and breathtaking landscapes. Weather permitting, enjoy an elegant wine and gourmet tasting in the heart of the vineyard, surrounded by panoramic vistas. For lunch, select between a sophisticated countryside picnic featuring premium local products or an authentic meal at a carefully selected local restaurant, where regional, seasonal flavors are celebrated.
