Why take this tour?
The Beaujolais wine region is renowned for its distinct and vibrant red wines, primarily crafted from the Gamay grape variety. As you traverse the undulating hills and picturesque vineyards, you'll witness firsthand the unique terroir that bestows upon these wines their singular character.
The region's granitic soils, combined with a favorable continental climate, create an ideal environment for the Gamay grape to flourish. The result is wines that exude a beautiful balance of fruitiness, freshness, and delicate tannins.
