Countryside is lovely. ...
Countryside is lovely. We went to two wineries. We learned a lot about the cultivation and care of the vines. The wines at the first winery were ok. Second one was very good. Overall a fun experience.

We were met at the tour...
We were met at the tour station by our two lovely tour guides, Amandine and Julie. They were very knowledgeable about the region we were going to visit, as well as the wine-making process. We visited 2 wineries and met the owners who educated us on the process, let us visit the vineyard and also enjoy some of their very tasty productions. It was a wonderful experience that we will talk about for years. Thank you!

Beaujolais wine tour
This was a delightful afternoon tour of two small wineries in the Beaujolais region. Our tour guide,Francois was very friendly and extremely informative and knowledgeable about the region, the wineries and the wines. He was willing and able to answer any question that came up and also offered useful tips about restaurants and things to do and see in Lyon. The ride was smooth and comfortable and overall, I enjoyed the tour and recommend it to anyone interested in beautiful scenery and very good wine.

Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon cost?
+
Prices start at $113 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 Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 189 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 Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings 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 Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings from Lyon?
+
Around 66 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Golden stones Beaujolais Wine Tour with Tastings 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.

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.
