What You Will Do
The day begins around 9.00am at your hotel, and we'll be travelling to the Beaujolais region to meet two wineries in the morning, where we'll visit the vines, the cellars and taste the wines (including 20th-century wine).
Around 1 p.m., we'll arrive at a 13th-century château that will be privatised for the rest of the day.
You will learn about the history of the château in the company of the owner, and then immerse yourself in a unique tasting of 6 wines from the 1930s to the present day, to cover the spectrum of the Gamay grape variety through time. The wines will be accompanied by a dozen cheeses and seasonal gourmet products.
As a wine merchant, WSET3 graduate, I'll be joining you on the day to talk about French wine and its specific characteristics.
A private chauffeur will drive us throughout the day. Tesla or Mercedes Class E for couples and Mercedes Class V Van for party of 3 or more.
Wines can be bought and shipped to your home.
