Day 1 Villefranche-sur-Saone to Beaujolais Wine Region Bonjour, welcome to your foodie adventure! Today kicks off with a complimentary transfer from Villefranche-sur-Saone Station to our 16th Century Chateau. Rub your eyes, blink: yep, that's our accommodation for the night, complete with a bar, swimming pool and dreamy views of the surrounding vineyards. Once we've checked in and chilled out we'll be feeling like royalty, and that's before we enjoy some local wine paired with cheese. Then our team of live-in chefs will prepare an authentic French Dinner. We'll tuck in while enjoying magnificent views of the Beaujolais countryside. What a day, and we're just getting started...
-
Day 2 Beaujolais Wine Region Rise and shine! After a hearty homemade breakfast and some on-the-lawn yoga (consider the cobwebs cleared) we'll visit one of the local wineries that this region is famous for. We'll learn about the world-famous Beaujolais Nouveau, meet a local winemaker and of course, sample some of their finest drops - paired with an included lunch. Stuffed with a new knowledge of wine and food, we'll head back to the ch?teau for a well deserved chilled night (and an included dinner too). Here you're free to chill out as you like... swimming, walking, or just kicking back on the terrace, the choice is yours!
-
Day 3 Lyon After a spot of breakfast, we'll bid au revoir to our ch?teau for the day... and head into Lyon for a change of pace. Here in Lyon, we'll start by appreciating all things FOOD. On a foodie walking tour, we'll sample the city's prettiest and tastiest food spots, with a local guide to impart all their knowledge and wisdom. We'll also uncover 'Hidden Lyon' through secret passageways, known locally as Traboules. Then, it's time to head to the local village, for a 3 course farewell dinner of traditional French cuisine. This is the good life. Once we've had time to digest our dinner, we'll get to explore this cute village before heading back to the ch?teau for a glass of wine at the bar. Oh France, do we really have to leave you?
-
Day 4 Beaujolais Wine Region It's our final morning (sob), but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy one last breakfast together. You can take a complimentary transfer this morning back to Villefranche-sur-Saone, or make your own arrangements. The trip is over, but all of those delicious memories will put smiles on our faces for years to come. Dining Summary

2 - Lunch FAQs London: Our Detour trips are minibreaks packed full of unique, local-led experiences. They're perfect if you're looking for a short weekend trip or just wanna spend a little more time at your destination. London: You know we love social travel here. While most of our trips have large groups, the Detour trips are all about small group travel with 16 travellers (or even fewer on some itineraries!). You can check the trip page above for more details. London: In classic Contiki style, your accommodation and transport are included in the trip. Plus, we'll sort out some meals and activities that are outlined in the itinerary. That's not all, though. You'll also have an expert Local Host to give you an inside scoop at every destination. London: All you have to do is check whether you need a visa (and apply for one if you do!), book your insurance and arrange your transport to the start location of the trip. We'll handle the rest! London: Our Detour trips are short & sweet (and loaded with fun activities). That's why we don't offer pre or post trip accommodation. Beaujolais Wine Region: We always try our best to cater to every dietary requirement. But for this trip, we're restricted for what is available locally & seasonally. So if you require a vegan or gluten-free diet, there might be a few experiences on this trip that won't have the option to cater to specific requirements. Beaujolais Wine Region: Most French wines are made using products derived from animals, so they aren't vegan. Beaujolais Wine Region: We don't provide towels on this trip. So, please remember to pack your own towel! Host : Today in Lyon, we'll be joined by a Lyonnaise local who's passionate about their city... and its recipes. That's right, today is the perfect tourism & food combo - we'll walk the streets, sample local dishes and discover Lyon's best food spots. You'll be feeling like a local in no time. Included Experience Villefranche-sur-Saone: The wait is over. Find your new Contiki crew and be driven in style by one of our Trip Managers through the gorgeous Beaujolais wine region to the Contiki chateau. Beaujolais: Time to settle in and get to know your new BFFs - whilst learning about locally produced wine and cheese (and of course, taste it too)! Beaujolais: Clear out the cobwebs and get in touch with you zen side with a guided yoga session on the sweeping lawns of the ch?teau. Beaujolais Wine Region: Head out to a local vineyard for a tour with an expert in all things wine. But that's not all. You'll dine on a luxurious three-course lunch paired with wine tasting. Lyon: Foodies, history buffs, anyone with a taste for culture, today is a true feast for you! Joined by a Lyonnaise expert, we'll explore Lyon on foot, checking out local restaurants, patisseries, food merchants. Villefranche-sur-Saone: It's almost time to bid farewell to the Beaujolais region. But, not before this iconic last meal in the historic town of Oignt - known for its stunning architecture and beautiful views. Beaujolais: And we'll head back to where it all began, at Villefranche Sur Saone Station. Happy hearts. Full stomachs. And unbeatable wine standards - that's how we roll.
