| Beaujolais country, a land of traditions. | | | | A land full of history and passion
Nestled on the banks of the Saône, between the Mâcon vineyards, the Monts du Lyonnais and the foothills of the Massif Central, the Beaujolais region, with its soil, its sun and its rivers, is a major winegrowing area. Vines were already being cultivated here in Roman times, but it was at the end of the 15th century that winegrowing really started to develop. A secular know-how and an insatiable passion that was rewarded in 1950 with the advent of Beaujolais Nouveau.

 | | A land of gastronomic delicacies
The Region has inherited its gastronomic traditions from its big sister, Lyons. From cellar to auberge, you will savour typical local dishes with unique flavours: the famous entrecôte beaujolaise steak, cervelas sausage ("andouillette") braised in bunches of grapes, or even Saône river tench cooked in Beaujolais. And all this accompanied, naturally by the famous Le Père la Grolle wine. Between warmth and conviviality, savour the opportunity of appreciating the generosity of the local people.

A land of festivals
From season to season and from village to village, wine always takes pride of place. From the Fête des Crus (Wine Festival) in the spring to the Fête des Sarmentelles (Vine Shoots festival) in the autumn, the Festival des Dindes Folles (Mad Turkey Festival) in the summer and the Fête des Lumières (Festival of Light) in winter, there are always good reasons for having fun together, and of course tasting the pride of the region: Beaujolais wine!
