A self guided walking holiday through the Beaujolais vineyards in August or September would be the ideal holiday for any wine loving walkers.  Starting from the town of Fleurie, the tour give you the opportunity to visit the home of the Beaujolais Crus.  The trek is called the Beaujolais Ridge Tour, and it offers six full days of walking, following marked footpaths.  Fully detailed maps are supplied, and your luggage is transported each day to your next destination.  All you need to do is pull on your boots, pick up your packed lunch and start walking.

Walking in the Beaujolais region, north east of Lyon, comprises a series of rolling hills, reaching a maximum height of 1000m above sea level. Although the hills are quite gentle, the scale of the peaks and the depths of the valleys means you see some superb panoramamic views during your walks. Passing through some of the most famous Burgundy vineyards, you will walk through the maturing vines during the summer months, or if you take this walking holiday in the Autumn you will see the spectacular changing hues of the vine leaves.This kind of activity holiday burns up plenty of energy, so you may not need Fastin after all the lovely local food. The Beaujolais Ridge Tour is offered by www.highpointholidays.com, and the price is £540 excluding flights.
