Beaujolais wine tourism in all its simplicity and conviviality, including a picnic among the vines. Beaujolais in all its authenticity.

The house has existed since 1884. It is one of the region's must-see places!

Traditional, parcel-based vinification is emphasized to develop the best expression of terroirs and the "vintage effect".

On the road to Clairette de Die, you must visit the cellars of Barsac, the stronghold of independent winegrowers.

Domaine Serol in Renaison is a family heritage handed down with passion for five generations.

Their wines, made from the best terroirs, are for them the symbol of authenticity and quality. Don't hesitate to come and taste these exceptional wines, at this estate committed to ecology and ancestral know-how.

Vignerons for 4 generations, the family focuses on quality: rational production, manual harvest in small boxes, strict sorting of clusters. Several national awards and selections of guides came to bear this search to do well. At Jean-Yves Sonnery every effort is being made to achieve this goal: reasoned wine production, manual harvest in small boxes, strict sorting of clusters. Rational viticulture offers three advantages. The first is to produce healthy grapes, guarantee the quality of wine, the second to preserve the natural environment by allowing natural regulation of vine parasites, and finally to respect consumer health.

As is often the case, the Domaine Saint Sorlin is a family estate handed down from father to son for several generations.

Among the Climats of the Beaujolais region, the Madone Climat is justly renowned throughout the world. And not only for its magnificent view, but also for its pink granite soils on which the Gamay grape blossoms. Arnaud Desprès is the sixth generation to run the estate. Not only can you taste exceptional wines - Fleurie Madone of course, but also a surprising Viognier Vendanges de glace - but you can also complete the experience at the Auberge with a view of the vineyard and by booking a gîte. An address that has it all.
