Embark on a half-day tour from Lyon to Burgundy in a Vintage Land Rover. This experience explores the Mâconnais region, known for its white wine and proximity to Beaujolais. Participants will engage with small wine producers who create wines within the guidelines of the local industry. The tour is suitable for those who appreciate wine and wish to experience the local lifestyle rather than traditional tourism. It is advisable to know that the itinerary may be adapted to enhance your experience based on the group's interests and time available. No specific restrictions are mentioned, but a flexible approach to the tour's content is emphasized.
Our first stop will be in the vines on a nice view point where we'll tell you about the wine in Burgundy as we open a bottle from that very vine for you to taste.
We'll make our way by small country roads to a quaint village hidden between two hills to visit a winery and taste a pretty good white wine. The idea is to show you a winery after having seen a the vine.
This hill has quite the story, the oldest trace of human presence dates back from the pre historical age and its latest history dates from the french president in the 80's who'd walk up the hill every year to pay his respect to the french resistance of world war 2. We can walk up there if you're up for it, it's an easy 40 min walk at a slow pace.
This village is probably the most famous one on today's tour. We'll be telling you about a real druid who lives here, we'll tell you about this unique personality and the wine he grows. We'll also stop for a proper wine tasting of different wines of the region with the help of a professional.
For our last stop, we'll visit a domain run by a young couple that represent this new generations of winemakers who will give us a taste of their wine grown both in Mâconnais (Bourgogne) and Beaujolais, they will also share their take on new techniques and trends.
