Hello dear visitor, my name is Arnaud and will be your native Guide of this magnificent Provence. Among the 5 tours I offer, I take you today to the vineyards of the southern Côtes du Rhône, including Châteauneuf du Pape.

There are several options:
• April to October (morning): tasting of a minimum of 9 wines in 3 wineries, in Beaumes de Venise (land of Muscat, natural sweet wine), Gigondas (famous for its red) and Châteauneuf du Pape (world famous for red), with a picnic included consisting only of fresh produce from local farms.
• all year round (afternoon): same circuit in the opposite direction (Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Beaumes), without meals.
• November to March (morning): only 2 estates, in Gigondas or Beaumes, then in Châteauneuf, without meals.
