Taste Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, visit two cellars, and enjoy Rhône Valley views on a relaxed four-hour tour from Avignon.
“Our guide was very accommodating and brought us to several surprise places like the pope’s summer castle and in the middle of the vineyards with excellent views for pictures. He shared the town’s history on the way and during the whole tour. Excellent! Even though it was a 9 am tour, we didn’t start tastings until 10:30 or so. Both vineyards were excellent and the guides there were very informative and taught us a lot about the grapes and wines of chateauneuf du pape. Highly recommend!”

Taste nine Rhône wines across Beaumes de Venise, Gigondas, and Châteauneuf du Pape on a small-group tour from Avignon.
“Excellent tour! Arnoud was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable about wine, the wineries, and the region. Also great with answering questions about other tours and what to do and where to go. He also brought local food from his village for the picnic at the second winery. It was longer than expected but I think that was all about him adapting to our questions and pace. He also took us to the castle in Chateauneuf de Pape and that was impromptu because we showed interest. All in all a great tour especially for the price! Merci beaucoup, Arnoud!”

“There were only three of us for this tour and our guide, J.B. picked us up in a nice sedan instead of a minivan. This made our travel time much more enjoyable it was quieter and more comfortable. J.B. is charismatic and professional. His personal and professional experience provided a depth and breadth to the information shared about the tour sites and the region in general. As we talked, he could tailor the stops and his presentation to our level of interest and knowledge. Seguret and Gigondas are beautiful villages it was interesting to see the countryside change as we traveled east from Chateauneuf du Pape. Late May is a…”
