    Grateful to have the chance to experience the culture, people, food, and wine

    We had a magical day with Benoit touring the Maconnais and Beaujolis regions, learning both about the land and the wine growing and making process. We met several wonderful, passionate growers that shared their knowledge and beautiful wines with us while also being able to take in the beautiful scenery and history of the area. We cannot thank Benoit enough for this unique and memorable experience, which included cheese and charcuterie, a tour of a castle, and stop for a delicious lunch, with his knowledgeable storytelling. We left feeling grateful we had the chance to experience the culture, people, food, and wine- it changed our views of wine and left feeling more educated than ever before. Bravo Insiders and bravo Benoit!

    Response from the operator: What a lovely review, thank you so much! Thank you for choosing us and for making time to post these lines. It is a pleasure to read that Benoit delivered to the level of your expectations and we hope you'll be back for more. Until then, safe travels and à bientôt!

    Great Experience in Mǎcon and Beaujolais Region

    This trip was an amazing time for me and my fiancé! We thoroughly enjoyed our private experiences with our tour guide Benoit. He did a phenomenal job planning the entire day for us. We got to enjoy the Mǎcon area for some tasty white wines, and after a delicious lunch in this beautiful lively, little restaurant, enjoyed tasty red wines in the Beaujolais region. Benoit handled everything for us, from tickets to and from Lyon, setting up each tasting experience, providing a bread and cheese charcuterie board, while giving us fantastic information about the regions and wines themselves. Each winery had its own unique feel, providing many generous pours of their own wines, from true French countryside wineries to large scale vineyards. We were able to see all the sights of the regions and visit a total of 4 vineyards in a full day experience. No parts of the day felt rushed and was well worth it! We highly recommend Benoit and this experience for any future travelers.

    Response from the operator: Oh what a wonferfull review, thank you so much! Am sure Benoit will grace us with his victory dan e when he gets to the office on Monday so, thanks for that too :) Safe travels and may you have a wonderful mariage and life :) A bientôt!

    100% FIVE STARS – Private Winter Wine Day

    Five stars, without a doubt. This wine tour with Amelie and Elodie was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We were on our honeymoon, and when you only have a few days, every single day matters. Booking experiences feels really important, and we could not have trusted a better team than the Insiders. This was a full day of wine, cheese, and unforgettable moments. We honestly still cannot believe how special it was. The highlight was a home cooked meal at a local bed and breakfast, which felt so warm, personal, and welcoming. It was one of those moments where you just sit there thinking, how could anything ever top this? What made this experience truly exceptional was how personal it felt. At every winery, we met the actual winemakers themselves. Every single one! We learned about the region in such intimate detail, and the people of Beaujolais were unbelievably kind, genuine, and excited to share their wines with us. Even in winter, the charm of the region shines, and the joy and pride they have in their cru wines was so special to experience. Amelie was absolutely AMAZING. She is incredibly knowledgeable and curated the day so thoughtfully. We will forever be thankful for the care she put into making this such a meaningful experience. Elodie who joined us as she was training to be an insider was just as wonderful. So kind, so knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about wine. It truly felt like we were spending the day with experts who genuinely wanted to share the very best of the region with us. This was the most satisfying day of wine and food we could have imagined, and one we will remember forever. If you are considering an Insiders experience, especially for something as special as a honeymoon, you can truly trust them to make it unforgettable!!! Five stars!!!

    Response from the operator: You should be a professional review writer, you've absolutely made our day with this one, thank you SO MUCH! congratulations on your wedding, and please please please, do feel free to live happily everafter! In case we're needed, you know where to find us for your next life milestones :) a bientôt!

    Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.

    How much does Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $559 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.

    Is Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lyon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lyon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lyon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Beaujolais and Burgundy Private Winter Wine Day Tour From Lyon?

    +

    Included: Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); Snacks; Lunch; Alcoholic beverages; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
