Northern Rhône Valley Day Tour with Wine Tasting from Lyon

What a wonderful day we had. The wines were delicious, the lunch was first-rate and our guide, Julie, was a delight. Whether you’re just beginning your exploration of the wines of the northern Rhône or have some knowledge, you will definitely learn something. Ask for Julie. With her knowledge of the wines and the region, you will really enjoy the afternoon. Take this tour ~ it’s a wonderful way to spend a day in France.

This day tour exceeded our expectations! There were only 5 tourists in our van and plenty of room. Julie, our driver/guide for the day was delightful, happy, knowledgeable and she made it her business to have everyone enjoy themselves. We visited a winery in the hills where the wine tasting and the views were spectacular. We then travelled to Tain-l’Hermitage for a visit to the chocolate factory then another tasting. We had some free time for lunch in the town. Thumbs up to the restaurant along the river! In the afternoon we visited the hermit’s stone cottage where it all began. A thoroughly enjoyable tour!

Julie who led our tour was amazing!!! Rhonetrip.com made sure we saw everything we wanted to see in the northern rhone! Lots of info, lots of laughs, and the lunch stop was incredible. We will definitely recommend them for others who visit the area and we will visit them again next time we are here. Thank you!!

Despite temperatures well over 100F (38C), we had a great and informative and well lubricated day with Jeremy. Highly recommended.

This was a great day to see the French country side and small towns on the Rhône River. Great wine too!

Julie was a fantastic host. Group met around 9 at Bellecour square. It was a small group of 8 people and we took a van to our first winery where we sampled 5-6 wines as a part of the tour and were able to sample some of their other wines for a few Euros a glass. We then drove to the scenic hermitage hill for a short stop. Great views of the valley and the Syrah vines. Next stop was for lunch where there are 3-4 restaurants in the area. The group split up since it would be difficult to accommodate the entire group with how busy each place was. Price varies by each place, but we ended up at Brasserie le Tainois and our meal was around 30 euros. We stopped at a second winery after lunch and had another 5-6 samples before taking a short drive to where we could walk among more Syrah vines. Julie then took us to Vienne where we split a bottle at another overlook of the valley and the city. We returned to Bellecour square around 7 PM. Really great experience with a great host and group.
