Hi, I am Olivier, your wine tour guide in Lyon. I started a tour guide company in 2013 to make you discover the beautiful vineyards around the city of Lyon in France. I truly have a passion for wine and history and I communicate it around me, through authentic moments of touring and tasting. The goal is to escape from the big city for a day trip in the vineyards: please, let me show you, how wine is important in the French culture. I like to say that wine appreciation is not a subject for experts and even if my country is full of different appellations based on terroir, on the labels, there is a way to introduce anyone to a better wine knowledge as long as we like wine and are willing to share a new experience. I propose you to come to see scenic places, meet great wine makers, taste savoury wines and discover the unique stories behind each one. I'm looking forward to seeing you for a tour to come! Best regards, Olivier I am a certified wine tour guide since 2013. I have a license that allows me to drive tourists.

Olivier met and far exceeded all of our expectations. His knowledge about wine was complemented by his passion, and he was able to include fascinating information about history, geology and culture. His selection of winery visits demonstrated the diversity of the Beaujolais area, and made you want to learn more about this amazingly beautiful region. Olivier was friendly and approachable and made learning more about wine an energizing experience. If you’re visiting the Beaujolais area this tour is definitely a “don’t miss!”

Olivier was a fantastic guide! He was prompt in picking us up from the train station and was very enthusiastic about all the wine we tasted. He is so knowledgeable and took us to 3 wonderful vineyards as well as to a lovely small restaurant for lunch. It was pleasure to learn from him. I would love to take another tour with him,

Oliver was so friendly and personable and easy to converse with. His knowledge and passion for wine, especially from the Beaujolais region, was genuine and incomparable to anyone we've met before. It was a pleasure asking him questions and listening to his experiences, and he was happy to explore and indulge our curiosities. We learned so much during our tour! Olivier was also elegantly accommodating and made sure we finished our tour on time so we could catch our train back to Paris, without any hint of being hurried or rushed.

Absolutely wonderful tour of Beaujolais with Olivier! The scenery of the region that he chose was spectacular and the three wineries he selected (and their wines) exceeded our expectations. We didn’t know that wines this good were available from Beaujolais. In addition, Olivier was delightful throughout the day, and eagerly shared his expansive knowledge of the region and the wines. His large Mercedes van was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe with his driving. We heartily recommend a tour with Olivier.
