There’s something truly special about winter in Beaujolais. This private Day trip from Lyon to Beaujolais reveals the region’s quiet beauty and local soul. Wrapped in warm plaids aboard a vintage Defender and guided by true insiders, you’ll experience Beaujolais at its most authentic.

Savor mulled wine at the medieval Château de Corcelles, explore the Victoire d’Affaux estate with its unique private art collection, and enjoy organic tastings at the peaceful Chateau des Bachelards, founded by Cluny monks nearly a millennium ago.

Share a traditional machon and a relaxed lunch in a local restaurant where winemakers love to gather, before ending the day at Maison Jacoulot, a family-run distillery blending creativity with generations of savoir-faire.
