Without a doubt, the floral labels of Georges Dubeouf make them the most recognisable and loved Beaujolais producer in the world. With the fleur range spanning, Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Village and all ten of the Beaujolais crus, there is plenty of opportunity to witness the nuance of terroir within the Dubeouf portfolio. The estate alsoreleases a Domaine range of wines from a number of the crus, which show increased complexity and heft on the palate.

In continuing the family tradition, Georges and his wife Rolande are joined by their son Franck. In 1993, Georges opened the first park dedicated to vines and wines: Le Hameau du Vin. Today, the park is maintained by Franck’s wife, Anne. She works every day to satisfy a clientele of families around their passion for the terroir. This unique theme park takes visitors through 2,000 years of vine cultivation history, with a collection of rare family objects and interactive activities.

Wine enthusiasts from all over Europe can also explore the Romanèche-Thorins train station, which saw a great deal of regional trade activity over the years. In good weather, a walk in the Garden of Beaujolais is a chance to discover a variety of aromas: from flowers to fruits and spices which make up the wines’ rich flavors. Lastly is the vinification center, opened in 2003, reveals the secrets of winemaking and traditional winemaking techniques.
