Beaujolais wine and Perouges village full day shared tour

Overview

Lyon is ideally located at the heart of diverse regions, which give the city its unique richness. This tour will take you through two emblematic areas. The Beaujolais region, world-famous for its wines, also boasts many beautiful castles, while the Dombes region, known for its ponds, offers a historical and gourmet escape to the medieval village of Pérouges. Starting from Lyon, head north to Beaujolais. Your morning will begin with a visit to a prestigious estate, perfect for understanding the region’s heritage and wines. After panoramic views from Mont Brouilly, explore the Château de La Chaize, the “Versailles of Beaujolais,” its gardens, and the longest cellar in Beaujolais. Enjoy a fabulous tasting of red and white wines. After a free lunch in Beaujolais, continue to Pérouges, a picturesque medieval village. Take a break at a 13th-century inn to taste the secret recipe “Galette.” Wander through the village’s cobblestone streets before returning to Lyon.
