Jeremie was an excellent guide. He was prompt each day and very knowledgeable of the wine processes and the varieties for the regions. He had lots of relevant stories and was able to answer our questions whether about wine or the French cultures. He quickly learned our preferences and adapted the offerings to our likes and new vintages to explore. He also was quite knowledgeable about the restaurant choices in Lyon and helped with securing seating. Highly recommended for a memorable tour! PS: ask to see his maps😉
Jeremy knew exactly what he was talking on the wine. He was a very knowledgeable person about it all
Jeremie is an amazing guide. He is incredibly nice, knowledgeable and pleasant to be around. He knew the region of Beaujolais and wine country in general well. He knew a lot about wine making and how to taste it. The people he partners with seem to really love him.
Jeremy Boyer is a professional tour guide. He is charming, extremely handsome, and wonderfully talented in his wine knowledge. He brought us to his friend, Dominique's vineyard and translated the growing and harvesting process as his friend explained in French. Everything is done by hand! "Mascot" the wine grower's god, was full of fun as he preformed among the vines. We had a lovely wine tasting (White, Rose, and Red), and we were gifted a bottle of the wine we preferred. I would highly recommend him for any of your tour needs!
