Had an absolutely amazing time with Olivier Delalande and Kanpai Tourisme this summer. Booked a Saturday all-day wine tour to the Beaujolais wine region and the village of Perouges online. It was a small tour with 8 people max, so it's definitely best to make reservations early.
We met in front of the Lyon Tourism center near Place Bellecour and Olivier drove us in his van to Oingt and then the vineyard for the day (Dominique Guillard). He speaks English as well as French, so it was great to have the tour in my native language. I understand some French, but I definitely would have struggled.
The wine was delicious. Just amazing, and it's so much cheaper than the United States. I bought a couple bottles after we sampled about 4-5 wines, and they were perhaps 6 euros a bottle on average?
We then went to a nearby village for lunch, which was around 18 euros on average for a couple plates. After that, we drove to the medieval town of Perouges and did a bit of walking around the village.
The villages were very pretty, and Olivier was a great and informative guide. I had a great time, and would highly recommend his tours. Well worth the money.
