We enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Beaujolais Crus region with our guide Oliver! He was very knowledgeable and gave a wonderful overview of the different wines from each of the 10 Crus. He also included stops at some of the stunning viewpoints of the region for some photo ops. We ended the tour at a small winemaker to do a vertical tasting of their wine. I would highly recommend this tour!
