Château des Poupets

Plan the days

Itineraries from the château

All distances are from Les Poupets. A car is the honest way to see the Crus; we can store bicycles if you prefer two of the days on two wheels.

01

One day — the northern Crus

Juliénas village at opening, Chénas, the Moulin-à-Vent, lunch in Fleurie, Côte du Py if time. Back for a cellar tasting. About 40 kilometres, mostly small roads.

02

Two days — Crus and Beaujeu

Day one as above. Day two: Chiroubles or Régnié in the morning, Mont Brouilly chapel, Beaujeu and the wine museum. Evening on the hill.

03

Three days — add Little Tuscany or Lyon

Keep the first two days. On the third, either the Pierres Dorées (Oingt, Theizé) or a full afternoon and dinner in Lyon. Geneva is possible as a departure, not as a day trip.

Harvest (usually September) and Nouveau week (third Thursday of November) need reservations. Write to the estate and we will time tastings around your route.
