Bagnols
After a transfer of 30 min approx. from Lyon, discover the southern Beaujolais region, one of the prettiest wine countries in France also called the "Small French Toscany"!

Oingt
Visit Oingt medieval town listed as one of the “157 Most Beautiful Villages in France” and stroll through a warren of little streets hosting many artists and craftsmen boutiques. With your private guide, learn about Beaujolais terroir, geography and history.
Oingt
Follow this wine tour with a first winery where you will get to be introduced to the unknown sparkling white and rosé Beaujolais. With your guide, learn the different basic steps of the subtle art of sniffing, swirling and sipping while you taste and how French wines are classified between generic, villages and crus appellations. After a short drive, push the door of a second winery, meet a passionate wine-maker and immerse yourself in French history and tradition. Learn about grape growing and the unique beaujolais wine making process called "semi-carbonic maceration" when grapes are all picked by hand and not crushed at all. Finally go to the caveau (wine-tasting room) and taste several red Beaujolais in a great authentic atmosphere. Then your private tour guide will drive you back to Lyon.
