Take a Vintage Land Rover tour with us from Lyon to Burgundy. The south of Bourgogne/Burgundy produces white wine, it's a region known as Mâconnais which is the border with beaujolais region. The area's first source of income is wine, it's not an industry, it's a lifestyle as there are mainly small producers who are free to create in their own style as long as they stay within limits defined by the industry. We've been coming here forever, we know the ins and outs of the area and we take pride in being the friend of a friend you'd like to have in a place you didn't know. We travel too and we hate being treated as tourists but we love being travelers. That's what we hope to do for you! The tour description above is an outline of what we can do, we usually end up adapting the content of the half day to maximize the value for money and time you put in us.

    A great way to spend half a day!

    This was such a wonderful way to spend half the day, seeing parts of the area that you wouldn't always see! Benoit was knowledgeable, kind, and is very clearly passionate about wine, winemaking, and what is available in the region. We were visiting the area just after harvest so there were many wineries closed but Benoit was still able to provide us with an experience that reflected winemaking history and process. I couldn't recommend this experience enough and Benoit as your guide!

    A warm September afternoon in Maçonnais

    We had a fabulous afternoon with Clémence and the vintage land rover. We are not familiar with the area and because Clemence contacted us beforehand she tailored the trip beautifully to show us the local terroirs and landscape. The wineries we visited were well chosen with charming hosts (a special mention for Sophie), and generous tastings. I would thoroughly recommend.

    Great day

    We had an amazing day with Melanie, she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She also did a fabulous job of driving us around in the awesome vintage Land Rover.

    Response from the operator: Merci very much Deb for your very kind words :) Melanie is a rock star and we're blessed to have her on the team. Safe travels and thank you for choosing us, this was fun!

    Worth it!

    Ben was a great guide! My husband and I did this tour as part of our honeymoon. They booked our train tickets to get from where we were staying and picked us up at the station. We learned so much about wine, wine making, and the region! The winery owners were also very kind and welcoming. Good wine, good cheese, good people, good time!

    Response from the operator: What a perfect honeymoon recipe: good wine, good cheese, good people — and Ben to bring it all together! We’re so glad the journey felt seamless from the train station onwards, and that meeting the winemakers added something special to your discovery of the region. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your honeymoon with us, and cheers to many more adventures together!

    Amazing Wine, Amazing Time!

    Best wine tour ever! Benoit tailored the day around our wine preferences and experience with wines. We visited only two wineries due to the heat, but the touring, tasting, and learning about their histories was fascinating. The time flew! Benoit’s knowledge of the region and his relationship with the wineries made for a truly unique experience. Things to note: The vintage ragtop, open air Range Rover was fun. Bring a bag or backpack to carry wine on the train because you will want to buy some. The train tickets are purchased for you. We took a taxi to the station, but Benoit was on the platform when we arrived and took us inside the station when we left to make sure we knew which train to take. Private means private. Just my friend and I on the tour. This wine tour was a highlight of our trip to Lyon.

    Response from the operator: “Best wine tour ever” — we’ll happily take that! Thank you. We’re so glad Benoit adapted the day around your tastes and the heat, and that the slower pace gave you more time to really connect with the wineries and their stories. From the train platform to the last tasting, it sounds like the whole experience felt genuinely personal — exactly as it should. And yes, bringing an extra bag for wine is always wise!

    Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover cost?

    +

    Prices start at $263 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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover 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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 37 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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover?

    +

    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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover 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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover?

    +

    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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover 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 Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
