4.Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 158 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $119

From Place Bellecour, a guide such as François, Clémence, or Yann drives you into Beaujolais. Walk medieval Oingt, pause for vineyard views and a tasting, then meet a family winemaker for estate wines, local cheese, bread, and sausage.

“It was delightful even with the rain! We went directly from Place Bellecourt to Oingt, which was so cute, with a delightful ambiance. Shame we could only enjoy a 40 minute trip by ourselves. The wines were light and very fruit based, characteristics from the Beaujolais region, as explained by our guides. The final stop in a local winery, was so good, we were very well received and the guides translated from french is an easy way, we could even ask some questions and see the wine making process, which was a treat. All in all, it was a great experience!”
