What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Lyon hotel and heads into vineyard country. At Château de Pizay, you'll move through a sensory circuit designed to deepen how you taste and see wine, sampling a dozen different expressions of the estate's production. It's equal parts educational and pleasurable. Afterwards, you'll motor through the famous communes—Fleurie, Morgon, Moulin à Vent—where the landscape shifts with every hill. Your final stop is a smaller, family-owned winery where the winemaker sits down with you, discusses their methods openly, and shares five carefully selected wines. The whole arc takes roughly four hours, with plenty of breathing room between locations.
