Liz and Greg and Diliana, were great to work with. I worked with Liz the most and she answered ALL of my questions, and addressed ALL my concerns. I told her exactly what I wanted, and she was able to come up with a plan and also changed it when needed. The guides we had were great as well, in addition to the lodging and wineries! Just as a heads up, chateau de pizay where we stayed was beautiful but it is, its on entity. Meaning you will need to take a cab into town if you want to eat at different restaurants. But the winery and vineyards there are lovely! And Paris was great too and a change of pace in our trip. Ending with a trip to Champagne, was great as well. This trip is best for wine lovers, unless you want to experience the calmness, of the countryside of France.

Hotel Reviews
Château de Pizay
Belleville-en-Beaujolais

The chateau was great! But if you want a variety of restaurants you will need to take a cab into town, which cost about 20euros. The chateau almost looks like like a storybook with the vineyards and garden. You can also wine taste at the winery, at the chateau which was nice! It’s calm and peaceful! And had it been a little warmer I would have taken advantage of the pool!

Authenticity & Character
To me it’s the epitome of a château.

Paris

This is an authentic European hotel, the rooms are not big, but the location of the hotel is nice, and there was breakfast every morning. The hotel is away from the tourist area, but not far, therefore the restaurants around were good and not “touristy.” Locals were all around, which is nice! Also it is not a big hotel, very cozy!

Just go and take it all in, it was great! And visiting the more family owned house versus the larger champagne houses, was nice as well.
