As someone who worked on a vineyard and for a wine importer, I was hesitant to go the tour route. Olivier was excellent! He really knows his stuff, from vineyard work, wine making, wine tasting, etc. And, although this tour focused on the northern Rhone, he has a much wider range of wine knowledge that added to the tour. Besides the wine, Olivier provided historical context and insights that kept things interesting. My family also enjoyed the day. Highly recommend!

Thank you Olivier for your knowledge, expertise, great conversation, friendliness and passion for wine and the region. An excellent day and we recommend Olivier and his wine tour to all our friends. 5/5

What an incredible experience. Olivier wasn't just our driver - he was a true wine expert, and someone that you could tell enjoyed what he does for a living. Olivier helped to expand our knowledge of great wines and of the families and wine producers behind them. It was educational and incredibly enjoyable. We are hopeful to have Olivier guide us again in the future.

Olivier is an incredible host - our family had an amazing day exploring the Rhône Valley with multiple wine stops and a wonderful spot for lunch. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about the area and experience it with a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide!

Our booking was confirmed in May 2023, payment was accepted and re-confirmed Aug. 2023, about 1 week prior to our scheduled Saturday tour. 9:15am on the tour date, we waited, but no tour operator. Our hotel concierge called the phone number provided, but no answer to multiple calls. Complete no show and no response. We received an email apology from "Olivier," about 6 hours later. He was "stuck in the countryside with a car problem and no connection." He refunded our full price. Unfortunately, we could not make other arrangement to visit Rhone Valley Domaines due to last minute and many are closed Sunday & Monday (in August). We are from California, USA and we are not likely to return to Lyon, so we were robbed of this opportunity.

Olivier is exceptional-friendly,knowlegable,excellent English and an overall wonderful wine host for the day.Plus a very safe driver of his Mercedes van(very comfortable).He chose both family run and larger wineries to give a full tasting of Cote Rotie,Condrieu and Hermitage wines in the Rhone valley.The areas feature viognier and syrah (we call shiraz in Australia) grapes and we had many tastings of both,blends and other Rhone varietals. Lunch at a local restaurant was delicious.I highly RECOMMEND this tour.

Great time with Olivia, extremely knowledgeable and willing to share. Had a fantastic local lunch also.

Michael_T

This was a very good tour. Our guide, Olivier Molle was excellent. He was both knowledgeable and personable. We all agreed we would take another wine tour with him, in a different growing region when and if we ever return to France.

Our tour guide, Oliver, was excellent. Very knowledgeable about wine and the area. Also very personable. Great guy and we had a very enjoyable experience.,

Olivier was awesome! Passionate as well as knowledgeable about wine. We went from small to big as far as wineries go with 3 visits and a tremendous stop for lunch. If you want to get to know the Northern Rhône and its fantastic wines, this is a geat way to get indoctrinated!
