Antoine is super ‘sympa’, explained it all very well, he really knows his wines, history and surroundings! As we arrived in harvesting season we were able to see the wine making process first hand in both wine houses we visited which made it all a lot more tangible. Bourgundy can be rather complex when it comes to its wines but we can now navigate already a lot better through everything the region has to offer. Wondurful tour & dégustations, we would 100% recommend to schedule your plans around this tour!

We booked a evening tour with Antoine. We went to a very nice vineyard in Fleurie. After a walk through the vineyard with a lot of interesting information we ended up at the Madonna (church), on top of the hill. Here we’ve got some more information about the region and it’s wines. When we got back, our host from the vineyard had some regional wines tot taste. Lovely tour, great guide (we were very glad he spoke English) and good wine!

I unfortunately cannot recommend this tour operator. I booked a tour with them and got the information that the tour was fully refundable. Given the Corona crisis, I had to cancel my tour. After the initial information that refunds need a bit longer (which I fully understand), nothing happened. I still haven´t received the refund after months and I have not received any information when/if this will happen at all, either. Any attempt to contact the company is being ignored. Neither do they answer to messages nor phone calls. Very disappointing...
