The tour was amazing! The journey to Beaujolais was very comfortable in the air conditioned van and Mathilde was very personable and knowledgeable about the region. Once we reached the wineries, each of the tours was super interesting and taught you a lot about the whole wine makeing experience. The tastings aswell were really good, with a large selection of wines being tasted throughout the day. The lunch was also at a lovely small restaurant in morgon and the food was really good and well-priced. Thank you so much for a lovely day!A very nice clean van and pleasant overall ride to the region. It was great being able to visit small and unique wineries and speak directly with the owners.

We loved exploring the Beaujolais wine region and tasting all of the delicious wines. The wineries were small and we were the only tour group at each one so it was a nice and intimate experience for our group of 6. Our guide, Mathilde, was excellent at translating and explaining the differences between the wines and wine production. We purchased a bottle from each winery to take home. The scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend!Our group of 4 had a wonderful and delightful half day Beaujolais wine tastong tour with Rhone Trip.

Our group of 4 had a wonderful and delightful half day Beaujolais wine tastong tour with Rhone Trip. Julie was fantastic with her knowledge, detail, wine history and figures, and tasting guidance. We visited 2 family owned vineyards - one being the same family since 1742. Both proprietors treated as so well with a small tour, history of their business, and great tastings - very generous pours!! For sure it was their close links with Rhone Trip that made this possible. The drive was spectacular and Julie pointed out many historic villages. Excellent photo opportunities. Finally, a big thank you to Julie for the bread and local cheese she kindly provided.This private day tour was a wonderful day of great wines, lovely villages and scenery. Our guide Julie had in depth wine and history knowledge of this beautiful area. Our interaction with Julie and the local wine growers and wine makers made this trip memorable. Lots of fun with lovely surprises.
