Cotes du Rhone Wine Tour - Private Tour - Full Day From Lyon

What can I say about this tour with Olivier? I'll use a lot of adjectives: amazing, fascinating, awe-inspiring, thrilling, fantastic, interesting, engaging -- but most importantly, delicious! When you meet Olivier, it's like you're meeting a friend. He so warm and friendly -- the drive up to the wine region is filled with chatter and laughs. He shares history and interesting facts that shape your appreciation for the region. Olivier picked three wineries for us to visit. My wife works in the wine industry in Sonoma -- so she had high expectations for this pilgrimage to the home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It not only met her high expectations - but exceeded them. At the two family wineries, both hosts were extremely welcoming and shared some of the best wines we've ever tasted. The third was a regional commercial winery that rounded out our experience that day. Each winery had such an interesting story and their histories go back hundreds (if not longer) in the art of winemaking. We're eagerly awaiting all the wine we shipped home that day! Olivier has clearly nurtured strong relationships with every place he took us (including the delicious local lunch stop) that we were lucky enough to enjoy first-hand. You're not going to places 5hat accept buses of tourists - you're pretty much walking into these families' homes. Again, I can't even begin to summarize how incredible our day trip was to the Cotes du Rhône. You're not booking a driving tour of wine country. This is an excursion and an experience that you'll never forget. Merci Olivier! Please let us know when you're ever in the San Francisco are! We'd love to return the favor and show you around!

This was a wonderful tour. Olivier is very, very knowledgeable about wine and knows the producers in the area. It was a treat for us to visit prestigious producers and taste their wines. We have been all over the world for wine and for us this was a splendid experience. Olivier was right on time at our hotel and got us back on time as well. We had an excellent lunch with him at a very nice place. He took us to the back of beyond and we saw vineyard sights we never would have seen by ourselves. If you are interested in wine and in the region you should go with Kanpai Tours without doubt.

Olivier's tour was amazing. He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about the region and wine! He stopped at beautiful locations we otherwise would not have seen and made the entire experience great.
