Justine was so knowledgeable about the Beaujolais region and its wines. We went to two family run wineries which I loved and the wines we tasted were excellent. We tasted 5 wines at each place with some charcuterie pairings. I highly recommend Justine’s tour. When in Lyon, this is a nice short day trip to the beautiful countryside.
We did the half day wine tour of Beaujolais with Justine. She was affable, passionate about wine and the region, and, most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. We were part of a small group of couples from all over the place, mostly strangers, yet by the end we were chatting like old friends. That was largely due to Justine, who went out of her way to get to know about everyone on the tour. The wines were great, too, and the tour deepened my appreciation of an often overlooked wine region. Superb tour overall. Highly recommend!!
The whole trip was superb. Justine is simply an excellent guide - very knowledgeable, wonderful at sharing that knowledge, and thoughtful about how her tours are organised. We especially appreciated the relationship she has with the wine-makers, which is both warm and professional. The whole group had a great time.
Justine guides a wonderful small group wine tour.She is very friendly and very knowledgeable about wine,the wine districts around Lyon (today it was Beaujolais) and life in this region of France.She is a safe driver in a comfortable minibus thar fitted us all(6 American and 2 Australian wine lovers).Driving through many small Golden Stones villages is reminicant of parts of Italy,just beautiful.Meeting the winemakers,seeing their vines and production facilities was interesting.Doing a tasting in a historic farmhouse cellar after walking through the magnificent garden of his mother was very enjoyable.Justine has excellent English,with an easy to understand French accent and translated the French winemakers information comfortably.We really enjoyed this tour and Highly RECCOMMEND it.
A great visit to Oingt with Justine! You can feel she loves her job and Beaujolais. It was authentic, user-friendly and we learned a lot without taking a head start. Go with your eyes closed if you want to taste wine and learn more! 🍷👌
Very good quality of the wines. Lovely surroundings. Nice people who presented the wines. Knowledgeful and nice guide. Highly recommended!
Our half day Beaujolais wines tour, led by Justine, was fantastic! We went to two family run Beaujolais wineries and got to see the wine making process up close and personal. Enjoying a wine tasting with the actual wine maker was a great experience. Highly recommend this tour!
Justine was wonderful! She was very friendly, professional, and educational during this tour. It was lovely to see some of the countryside and visit two beautiful wineries. We would be thrilled to go on more tours with Justine!
Amazing tour to the Beaujolais region with Justine. She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the region, winemaking and the family run vineyards we visited. It was my daughters’ first winery tour and they rated this as one of their top 5 experiences while visiting France!
Justine was so lovely and knowledgeable. The two vineyards were ideal examples of the region, welcoming and delicious options of wine. Our family couldn’t have asked for a nicer day or experience.
