Service Description

You will be picked up at your hotel in Lyon by your private, high-standard vehicle and professional driver. Your local guide will join you along the way as you follow scenic back roads through the rolling hills of the UNESCO Geopark of Beaujolais, a landscape shaped by centuries of viticulture, rural traditions, and small wine-growing communities. Your first stop is the hilltop village of Oingt, officially listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. During a private guided walking tour, you will discover its medieval streets, golden limestone houses, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the surrounding vineyards. The visit introduces the history of the Beaujolais region, and reveals how geography and human activity together shaped this remarkable village. Time is then left free to explore independently—whether strolling through the narrow lanes, visiting small artisan shops, or enjoying a coffee at your own pace while taking in the sweeping views across the Beaujolais hills. Then, you continue your journey through the scenic vineyard roads of the Beaujolais countryside. You will stop in a small local village to meet residents and share a moment of everyday life around regional wine and simple, generous cuisine for afternoon tea. This intimate encounter offers a genuine insight into local traditions, hospitality, and the rhythms of village life. At the end of the day, you return comfortably to Lyon via picturesque country routes, closing a journey that balances landscapes, history, and human connection.
