Our guide (and the owner of the company) Justine was very knowledgeable and friendly, and kept everything running seamlessly, We visited 3 different wineries in various appellations and in each place, we tasted 5 wines. The first, Guigal, even had a beautiful museum of wine making. At Remy Nodin, we also toured the back rooms and saw all the equipment for expressing the grapes, the fermentation tanks, and the barrels for aging. It was a real education. And did I mention the delicious lunch in Tain-Hermitage? Justine is a treasure—this is the tour you want to take!

Justine was an amazing tour guide and the tour was great. We went to 3 local wineries and got a tour/history of north Rhône valley. The wineries being local to the region and not mass produced plants also gave the tour a more unique and incredible experience. Would recommend anyone visiting Lyon to do this tour.

Our guide Justine was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Seeing where the wine is produced and learning about the processes made for an enriching experience... and the wine was delicious too. If I am ever back in Lyon, I would book with Justine again to visit another wine region.

Fantastic trip/tour. We were a group of 5 who have been on vineyard tours in several countries. Justine really knows her stuff! The three vineyards were sufficiently different, we learned about the Syrah, Viognier and Marsanne grapes and how the same grape can create a completely different wine depending on terroir and the wine maker.

Bradley_P

Justine took the tour with only 3 of us when the minimum is 4 people, effectively giving us a private tour. We learnt all about the wines in the region and tried 15+ wines and witnessed some breathtaking views. Justine was a great guide and very friendly.

A wonderful day thanks to our super guide Justine, who had chosen 3 family estates for very enjoyable tastings with commentary! Justine had selected a superb restaurant for lunch. Everything was perfectly organized. Justine is very knowledgeable about oenology and we had a great time with her. I can only recommend this experience!
