Summary:
Private, perfect day in the Northern Rhône Valley. We visited a small biodynamic winegrower on the Condrieu hillsides, followed by a truly special tasting at Guigal — 10 wines, including the iconic La-Las. Lunch and the afternoon were spent in a private villa, just the six of us, enjoying a 1964 Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a 2001 Côte-Rôtie. A generous platter of local cheeses, specialties, and seasonal desserts completed the experience. We were able to take our time — exactly what we look for when we travel. Special mention for the impeccable transport and our driver, with whom we felt perfectly safe. Thank you to Hugo for organizing this timeless experience.

Summary:
A unique and exceptional Rhône Valley wine tour. We booked this trip following a pharmaceutical seminar in Lyon. A mix of neophytes and connoisseurs, everything went perfectly, we laughed, drank and enjoyed a magnificent villa throughout the afternoon. It was the best moment of our trip to France for most of us, and one we're sure to remember.
