Tour Itinerary

Welcome to Beaujolais, Saint Amour is the first cru (exceptional wine area) we'll be visiting.
20 min
We'll stop at the church of the village to visit it and tell you about all the things we discovered about this place. Expect to travel in time!
20 min
Moulin à Vent is known as the lord of Beaujolais wines, it was competing with Romane Conti in the late 19th century, we'll tell you the story of that. Moulin à vent means Windmill in french and guess what? There will be an authentic 15th century wind mill to be seen there!
1 hour
Fleurie is known as the most feminine cru of Beaujolais, ironically, it was put on the map by a woman last century. Depending on your mood and thirst, we'll either stop at the cooperative, that also acts as a local bar, for a tasting, or we'll head uphill to our favorite viewpoint in the vineyards, we'll pull out long chairs and open a few bottles for you to taste, one of them being from the vineyard where we'll be standing.
