Full Day Private Tour of Beaujolais by vintage Land Rover

About this tour

Explore Beaujolais' lesser-known corners in a restored Land Rover, stopping at private estates, independent winemakers, and artisan producers across the region's ten premier crus. Your eight-hour journey weaves through medieval villages and vineyard-covered slopes, punctuated by tastings of local wines paired with carefully sourced charcuterie and cheese. Lunch happens either at a family-run restaurant or beneath the vines, depending on your preference. The itinerary flexes around what genuinely interests you—whether architecture, viticulture techniques, or quiet landscapes.

What to expect

You'll spend most of the day in or around the Land Rover, moving between stops in Beaujolais' quieter reaches. Drives between venues run roughly 80 minutes combined; the remainder is spent at wineries, producer farms, or your lunch location. At each stop, expect to taste wine and regional foods whilst hearing stories from locals about their craft or the land's history. If weather permits, you'll open bottles and eat cheese overlooking the vines. Children under 18 receive grape juice and soft drinks instead of wine. The vehicle itself is restored but functional—not a museum piece, so come ready for character and quirks.
