Spend about seven hours exploring Châteauneuf-du-Pape with guides such as Max, Romain, Coralie, or Wilhelm. Visit three distinct wineries, taste reds and whites, learn about soil and grapes, stop for Provençal lunch, and finish in an old village cellar. The group is limited to eight, and lunch costs extra.
“Great experience! Highly recommended- good mix of wine and regional knowledge, tastings, and friendly host.”
From Avignon, you’ll ride in an air-conditioned van through the Rhône Valley to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A local English or French-speaking guide such as Joanna, Arnaud, or Emile leads two cellar tastings, shares wine and regional history, and stops at the ruins of the Pope’s summer residence for wide valley views.
“The tour was excellent. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The transport was good. The wine tastings were also very good. A great tour. Would recommend it to anyone”
From Avignon, you’ll visit three wine estates and tasting venues around Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, or Séguret. Guides such as Nicolas, Thierry, David, and Brigitte explain grapes, terroir, AOC rules, and winemaking. A generous lunch, hotel pickup at select hotels, and a maximum of eight people make this a relaxed full-day outing.
“Nico was great and it is a lovely itinerary. We got to try some great wines, learn a lot and take home some new favorites. Thanks for a great day!”
Spend 3.5 hours with an English-speaking guide exploring Avignon’s medieval streets, Rocher des Doms, Place de l’Horloge, and the Pope’s Palace.

Guides such as Emily and Jesus have earned especially warm praise.
