    2 Day wine tour including Bourgogne

    Jeremie was an excellent guide. He was prompt each day and very knowledgeable of the wine processes and the varieties for the regions. He had lots of relevant stories and was able to answer our questions whether about wine or the French cultures. He quickly learned our preferences and adapted the offerings to our likes and new vintages to explore. He also was quite knowledgeable about the restaurant choices in Lyon and helped with securing seating. Highly recommended for a memorable tour! PS: ask to see his maps😉

    An unforgettable memory

    Jeremie is an amazing guide. He is incredibly nice, knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. He knew the region of Beaujolais and wine country in general well. He knew a lot about wine making and how to taste it. The people he partners with seem to really love him.

    Private vineyard tour and wine tasting.

    Jeremy Boyer is a professional tour guide. He is charming, extremely handsome, and wonderfully talented in his wine knowledge. He brought us to his friend, Dominique's vineyard and translated the growing and harvesting process as his friend explained in French. Everything is done by hand! "Mascot" the wine grower's god, was full of fun as he preformed among the vines. We had a lovely wine tasting (White, Rose, and Red), and we were gifted a bottle of the wine we preferred. I would highly recommend him for any of your tour needs!

    Great Beaujoulais winery tour and tasting and walking tour of the lovely Val D'Oingt

    Wonderful personal tour for our family of 5 to the Val Oingt and a family owned Beaujoulais winery close by. The wine was great, the personal family owned winery tour so cool. Just loved Jeremie and all of my tours with Lyons Private tours. We were a family of 5 visitng over the Christmas holidays and did 3 tours with Jeremie. They were all fabulous.

    Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $377 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 Private Beaujolais Wine Tour 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 Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Beaujolais Wine Tour?

    +

    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 Private Beaujolais Wine Tour 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 Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour 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 Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Alcoholic beverages; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 62 listed pickup locations in and around Lyon. Be ready about 720 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, 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 Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Lyon. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Half Day Private Beaujolais Wine Tour?
