Beaujolais Wine Tour Prices in 2026: What Each Fare Pours

A Beaujolais wine tour from Lyon costs from $112 to $1,158 a person, and the tastings are inside every fare. What changes is the length, the lunch, and whether you pay per person or per group. Here is every fare side by side. If you searched for Beaujolais ticket prices, note that the region sells no ticket: the tour fare is the price.

How much does a Beaujolais wine tour cost?

A shared half day from Place Bellecour costs $112 to $126 a person, for about four hours and two estates. A shared full day costs $161 to $184. Both cap the van at eight people.

A private full day costs $557 to $578 a person on the days priced that way. Some private days are priced per group instead, from $695 for up to three to $1,158 for up to four. The wine merchant's day costs $1,158 a person, with two people to book.

What does every fare include?

The table sorts every fare from the cheapest, with the things that change most from one to the next: the basis, the length, lunch and where you start.

Are the tastings in the fare?

Yes, on every tour here. You pay once, and the estates' tastings are inside the price, from the half days to the private days. That is the main difference from going alone, where each estate sets its own terms.

The number of wines varies. The Château de Pizay half day pours twelve estate wines on the château's circuit and five at a family winery. The afternoon crus run pours nine to ten. The wine merchant's day pours fifteen to twenty, down to old vintages.

Is lunch included?

Only on some private days: the Land Rover day, the winter day from Mâcon, the Signature days and the wine merchant's picnic. On every shared day you buy your own lunch at a village restaurant.

Budget for it. The both-halves day books a restaurant for the group with menus from EUR 25, and the Pérouges day quotes menus from EUR 20. The Golden Stones half day, in the Pierres Dorées, serves a mâchon of snacks, which is welcome but is not lunch. On the Defender day, lunch is an extra fee.

Per person or per group: what is the difference?

A per-person fare is multiplied by your party. A per-group fare is paid once, up to the group's limit, whether one of you rides or the whole car is full.

So a per-group price looks high on the card and can be the better deal. Four friends on the Pérouges day pay about $237 each, and four on the private crus tasting day about $289 each. For comparison, one seat on the Land Rover day costs $567. The private Golden Stones half day is priced for up to three, and a larger group pays a higher fare.

What does a day cost for two or four?

Here is what your party pays on a few typical fares. Per-person fares are multiplied; per-group fares are not.

For a couple, a shared day is the cheaper route by far. For four, a per-group private day comes close to the price of four shared seats, with your own car and your own pace. The private options are on private beaujolais tours.

What do you pay per wine poured?

A fare buys more than wine: the driving, the guide and the booked visits. But where a listing says how many wines it pours, the price per wine is a fair way to compare.

The Pizay half day is the cheapest glass by a wide margin. The blind tasting in Lyon costs more per glass because it pours five wines in two hours and never leaves the city.

Why do private days cost so much more?

Because you pay for the car and the guide on your own. A shared van spreads that cost over eight people; a private car spreads it over your party.

What you get for it is real: pickup at your door or a vintage vehicle at the station, lunch in the fare on some days, and a route built around you. The Land Rover day includes lunch in the vines and costs $567 a person.

What costs extra?

• Lunch: on every shared day and most private days.
• Water: several shared half days leave bottled water out, so bring a bottle.
• The train: the Defender days include the ticket only if you choose the train option; the Land Rover day offers courtesy tickets on request.
• Tips: the private crus tasting day excludes gratuities, so a tip is your call.
• Bottles: any wine you buy at the estates.

Can you get your money back?

Yes, on every tour here: each one refunds in full if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. So you can book as soon as your dates are likely, and change your mind later.

Some private days can be cancelled by the operator for poor weather, and some shared days need a minimum number of travellers to run. If that happens, you are offered another date or a full refund.

Is a Beaujolais wine tour worth the fare?

For most visitors, yes. For $112, a half day gets you two estates, a guide and the wine, with nobody at the wheel after a glass. The Golden Stones half day is the most-reviewed tour we list, and the crus full day gives you six hours in the famous villages for $161.

It is worth less if you only want one glass. Then the blind tasting in Lyon, or a morning in Oingt on your own, is the better spend. Read Pierres Dorées or the crus before you pick which half to pay for.
