Overview

Come discover the hidden gems, good wines and back roads of Beaujolais with us onboard our Vintage Land Rovers.
During this exclusive experience with a passionate local insider, you’ll visit 2 wineries usually closed to the rest, each offering a unique story and exceptional wines. One stop includes a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process, where you'll gain insight into the daily life and passion of dedicated winemakers.

Additional cultural and historical stops await, tailored to your interests; like a charming chapel deeply tied to the local terroir or a privately owned medieval château open just for us.

This tour is customizable to suit your preferences, so let us know what you're looking for. Then sit back, relax, and let us take you to the very best places of Northern Beaujolais!

Moulin à Vent is known as the lord of Beaujolais wines, it was competing with Romane Conti in the late 19th century, we'll tell you the story of that.
