Beaujolais Wine Tour
One of the best wine tours we have been on.
via Tripadvisor
Justine was a brilliant...
Justine was a brilliant guide. Great tour out of Lyon to 2 vineyards. Both were really interesting and great being shown around. In addition to the owners talking about their process of wine making Justine was also very knowledgeable. Travelled with family and everyone only had positive things to say. Would definitely recommend a tour with Justine.
via Viator
A truly memorable experience!
Wonderful experience! Justine is knowledgeable of wine and the region and very pleasant. We have done many similar tours in other countries and Justine’s personal touch made this tour stand out.

Great Day out from Lyon
We had a lovely time - there was just the right amount of people to make it feel personal and Justine knew so much about the region and the wines. She was incredibly friendly and it was a great thing to do on a hot day. The wineries were lovely and the small charcuterie boards provided were a lovely touch to also experience some local cheeses and meats.
via Tripadvisor
Excellent Wine Tour
Justine was so knowledgeable about the Beaujolais region and its wines. We went to two family run wineries which I loved and the wines we tasted were excellent. We tasted 5 wines at each place with some charcuterie pairings. I highly recommend Justine’s tour. When in Lyon, this is a nice short day trip to the beautiful countryside.

Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines 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 Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 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 Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines?
+
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 Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines?
+
Around 13 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half-Day Guided Tour with Tasting of Beaujolais Wines 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.
