Private Half-Day Mâconnais Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover from Lyon

This half-day private tour runs from Lyon to Burgundy in a vintage Land Rover. The south of Burgundy, known as the Mâconnais and bordering Beaujolais, makes white wine. Wine is the area's first source of income, and it works less like an industry than a way of life. Most producers are small, and they are free to make wine in their own style within the limits the appellation sets. The hosts have been coming here for years and know the area well. They present themselves as the friend of a friend you would like to have in a place you do not know, and they treat guests as travelers rather than tourists. The itinerary is an outline. The half day is usually adapted on the spot to get the most out of the time guests spend.
