Beaujolais

To the south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is still overlooked by many travelers to France, who head for more status-soaked appellations. In many ways, though, the scenery and character of the Saône river valley are just as picturesque and inviting as the more-visited areas. The Beaujolais wine path winds among many of the area’s small vineyards, and at Hameau Duboeuf, renowned wine négociant Georges Duboeuf has fashioned an old railroad station into an outstanding wine-focused visitors center.
