Hugo was a perfect guide....
Hugo was a perfect guide. He took us to three small houses and the winemakers were passionate about their wine and the Beaujolais terroir.
Response from the operator: Beaujolais in August, Thank you.

Two great days with Hugo
We spent a couple of days with Hugo tasting wines in the Beaujolais and Northern Rhône regions. Hugo arranged the tastings in both regions in advance and did all of the driving. He also arranged lunch each day. All was easy to arrange--Hugo was communicative. He showed-up exactly on-time, and the tours involved what was promised. His car was clean, comfortable, and (importantly in August!) air-conditioned. It's a very professional operation. We asked Hugo to focus on smaller producers, and he followed-through on that request--we visited some tiny producers that were definitely off the beaten path. Many of our tastings were in tiny tasting rooms and/or wine caves. As a result, we got a great feel for the region and its tremendous history. It was awesome to speak with actual winemakers, instead of just tasting room employees. Hugo did a nice job translating when the winemaker's English was limited. The lunches that Hugo chose were great, too--excellent meals in charming establishments, especially a seasonal, garden-based restaurant in Beaujolais. Hugo himself is affable, humorous, and a good conversationalist.
Response from the operator: I think that's you Mark, It's been a pleasure to spend these two days in your company, it brings back good memories. Hugo Jeanguyot

Lyon Private Tours-the best!
We took two tours with Lyon Private Tours—Northern Cote du Rhône with Nathalie and Beaujolais with Jeremie. Both were excellent, well-versed, thoughtful and insightful guides. We learned so much about the history, culture, food and wine of both regions. Jeremie booked a fantastic lunch for us each day—amazing food and wine! Can’t wait to go back to France and repeat our memorable experiences.
Response from the operator: It was a beautiful autumn day. We hope to see you again to discover new French wine regions.

Fantastic day in Beaujolais!
We had an incredible day in the Beaujolais region with Hugo! Everything was perfect — transportation, pace of each stop, quality of the itinerary. Hugo was a very informative and welcoming guide. The tour was the highlight of our trip in France. Would recommend to everyone!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, nice day in the Beaujolais. Hugo Jeanguyot

Best wine tour ever
By far the best wine tour of our lives. The winemakers we met have delicious wines, they're passionate about their craft and eager to share their knowledge, we're far from an orchestrated visit. A key element of the day, given that we were a family of 5, Hugo suggested that rather than a traditional lunch, we opt for a picnic in the vines with a blind tasting of 6 wines from old vintages paired with local produce (cheeses, charcuterie, bread, truffle butter) of the highest quality. A memorable day to remember.
Response from the operator: Merci Julie

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Beaujolais wine tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does Private Beaujolais wine tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,142 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 Private Beaujolais wine tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Beaujolais wine tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 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 Private Beaujolais wine tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Beaujolais wine tour?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 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 Private Beaujolais wine tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Alcoholic beverages; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Beaujolais wine tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 431 listed pickup locations in and around Lyon. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Beaujolais wine tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Norwegian, Arabic, German, Vietnamese, Russian, Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese, 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 Private Beaujolais wine tour?
+

+
