Description
Discover Southern Burgundy on a private tour from Lyon with our local Insiders. Hop on our vintage Land Rover to taste the very best of the Mâconnais vineyards and explore hidden gems.
Spend a full day discovering the Mâconnais region with a local Insider. Travel off the beaten path, meeting locals and uncovering hidden gems not found in guidebooks.
You'll make at least 4 stops focused on wine : a winemaker, a cooperative, or even stop in the middle of the vineyards to open a bottle or few and enjoy local snacks). At each stop, you'll taste at least 4 wines, each with its own story.
A highlight of the day is a visit to Philippe, a former winemaker turned druid, and guardian of an incredible private cellar.
Along the way, visit other favorite spots: an isolated chapel or a goat cheese farm in a former Cluniac priory, once a sacred Celtic pagan site. The cheese is only sold on-site to those who take the time to visit.
For lunch, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant serving seasonal products.
Depending on option chosen, transfer from/to Lyon is provided with train tickets or private car transfer.
