What to expect
You'll be collected and driven into the quieter southern section of Beaujolais. First stop: Oingt, where you wander narrow stone streets and take in long views across the vines—plan 45 minutes to an hour here. Then to a working winery, typically smaller and owner-operated. Expect to see barrel rooms or tank halls depending on the season, hear directly from whoever runs the place about their approach, and sit down to a proper tasting of 4–6 wines with food pairings. Total time on the wine estate is roughly two hours. The pace is deliberate; this isn't a whirlwind.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for village streets and winery grounds. Bring sunscreen and a hat—the vineyard slopes offer little shade. Lunch isn't included, though some wineries have snack options; eat beforehand if you prefer. Designated drivers available on request.
