    Another great tour with Kanpai!

    Another great wine tour with Kanpai! Last year we did the Cote du Rhône. This year we were lucky enough to visit Lyon again, so booked another wine tour - this time to Beaujolais. It was a lovely tour with Sebastian. He drove us to his family winery where we tasted several wines while he provided insight on the process, history and current affairs of wine growers in the region. From there we drove to another winery and enjoyed more gamay grape wines. Sebastian was extremely helpful and gave us his personal recommendations on restaurants in town. Overall a successful tour. So glad we were able to travel to this area and learn about Beaujolais. I highly recommend booking a tour with Kanpai!

    Afternoon fun with beautiful vineyards, wine tasting & learning!

    My mom, sister, niece & me went on the small group afternoon tour to Beaujolais with Sebastien. From the first introduction with Sebastien, to the very end of the tour, he was extremely welcoming, full of information, personality and so much fun. We learned a ton about the Beaujolais wine region and got to taste a lot of delicious wine, from his family’s vineyard to another vineyard in the area. Loved the small group. It was us 4 ppl plus 3 others. Highly recommend this tour! Merci beaucoup for a great time!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! Sebastien sends you his best regards and we are so happy that you enjoyed so much the tour. Merci beaucoup, Olivier & Sebastien

    Le beau Beaujolais

    Olivier was a fantastic guide for the tour to the Beaujolais wine area. Such beautiful countryside and gorgeous villages! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the wines, and he adjusted my tour for more sightseeing opportunities. He was very helpful, and I loved that! The villages are beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the wines I tasted. I highly recommend Olivier and his excellent tours.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Shirley ! Say hello to Sonoma for me and I wish you a Merry Christmas ! Olivier

    Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $124 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 Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 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 Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group 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 Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon?

    +

    Around 5 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group 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 Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon?

    +

    Included: Guiding in English and French language; Expert guide in wine and Lyon region; Wine tasting included (7/8 wines); and High Comfort 8-seaters minibus with air-conditionning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon?

    +

    Is Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Beaujolais Wine Discovery - Half Day - Small group tour from Lyon if the weather is bad?
