About this activity

Come discover the hidden gems, good wines and back roads of Beaujolais with us onboard our Vintage Land Rovers.

During this exclusive experience with a passionate local insider, you’ll visit 2 wineries usually closed to the rest, each offering a unique story and exceptional wines. One stop includes a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process, where you'll gain insight into the daily life and passion of dedicated winemakers.

Additional cultural and historical stops await, tailored to your interests; like a charming chapel deeply tied to the local terroir or a privately owned medieval château open just for us.

This tour is customizable to suit your preferences, so let us know what you're looking for. Then sit back, relax, and let us take you to the very best places of Northern Beaujolais!

We'll stop at the church of the village to visit it and tell you about all the things we discovered about this place. Expect to travel in time!
Chateau du Moulin-a-Vent

20 min

Moulin à Vent is known as the lord of Beaujolais wines, it was competing with Romane Conti in the late 19th century, we'll tell you the story of that.

Moulin à vent means Windmill in french and guess what? There will be an authentic 15th century wind mill to be seen there!
Fleurie

one hour

Fleurie is known as the most feminine cru of Beaujolais, ironically, it was put on the map by a woman last century.

Depending on your mood and thirst, we'll either stop at the cooperative, that also acts as a local bar, for a tasting, or we'll head uphill to our favorite viewpoint in the vineyards, we'll pull out long chairs and open a few bottles for you to taste, one of them being from the vineyard where we'll be standing.
