This day trip was such a good way to learn about the northern Rhone valley from Lyon. Yann was a great guide and host for the entire day, and taught us a lot about the regions we drove through and visited. He also brought us to an amazing restaurant in Tain L’Hermitage for lunch. The wineries we went to were also so good, especially Corps De Loup (such a fun host)!
