Beaujolais and Pérouges - Full day

One-day tour in the Beaujolais and Dombes areas

Set out with your guide Olivier, expert in oenology, in search of the loveliest natural and tourist sites around Lyon. Visit listed villages that rank among the "Most Beautiful Villages in France" and get to taste various Beaujolais wines. This is a tour among friends, with a rich programme of visits and authentic encounters!

In the morning, you'll discover Les Pierres Dorées, one of the loveliest wine-growing regions in France. You'll pass through several picturesque villages built from ochre-coloured stones, and be able to admire the magnificent scenery and châteaux. You'll also get to visit Oingt, a picturesque medieval town with unforgettable street names, such as Tyr-Laine [Wool carding street], Coupe-Jarret [Leg Ache Street], Trayne-Cul [Always on your backside street].
You'll meet a keen winegrower. He'll take you on a tour of his facilities and share all his Beaujolais wine-making secrets with you. Then you can sharpen your palate by trying to identify the various aromas during a wine tasting session. Friendly atmosphere guaranteed!

At lunchtime, you can enjoy delicious local cuisine in a typical Beaujolais bistro. Menu prices start at €16 during the week and €24 at the weekend. Meals are not included in the tour.
In the afternoon, drive through the Dombes area, a truly magical region where water, the earth and nature combine to produce some truly wonderful landscapes.
Then visit Pérouges, with its medieval architecture untouched by time, where the first "The Three Musketeers" film was shot. Take a stroll down Rue des Rondes, with its uneven paving stones, and admire the old 13th and 16th century houses.

You can then make the most of 30 minutes of free time to stroll past the craftsmen's stalls in search of a souvenir, taste the "galette de Pérouges", a delicious local speciality, or Bugey wines at the Caveau Saint-Vincent wine store (wine tasting here is not included in the tour), before driving back to Lyon

Had a lovely trip through the Beaujolais countryside visiting a very nice vineyard and having the wine making process explained to us. Sampled some excellent wines and cheese with the option to buy some if desired. Visited some very pretty towns and villages, and had a lovely lunch in a picturesque setting, finally culminating in a tour of Perouges. Our guide was excellent and I would definitely recommend this tour if visiting Lyon.

My first visit to France, I arrived thinking that my favourite wine was from Cote du Rhone but following these two journeys I swapped my allegiance to Beaujolaise. Both tour guides were excellent and perhaps the trip to Beaujolaise was the best. Thank you Olivier, sorry Justin not that there was a problem.

Good location!

Nice Day Trip from Lyon

Although we have gone on other trips outside of Lyon on our own, it was really nice not to have to worry about all the logistics ourselves and just be taken care of by the tour guide. There was 7 of us - a nice size group. Along the way to the wine tasting, the tour guide made a couple of stop overs so we could take some photos of the beautiful landscape/castle etc. We had a quick tour of Oingt, a small village. We then had the wine tasting at a small winery that had been around for 8 generations. It was great and we all enjoyed Etienne's wine. We had lunch at a bistro - good food with reasonable pricing. The last stop was Perouges. All in all, everyone in the group had a wonderful time and I would recommend this to others. The cost was 105euros for the 8 hour trip.

Justine, the tour guide was helpful, knowledgeable and fun. This is a small, personal and worthwhile tour. The vineyard, villages and lunch stop all add something to the experience.
