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 Châteauneuf du Pape, the icon of Rhone Valley wines, known worldwide for its reds.
I will lead you in 2 different areas, among the most renowned. You will taste at least 6 different wines, including 2 white wines (white wines represent only 8% of Châteauneuf du Pape production and are very difficult to find abroad).
You will also tell me your choice for the last stop of 5 minutes: either at the village castle, whose ruins testify to a rich medieval history, or in a vineyard flooded with rolled pebbles, the iconic terroir of Châteauneuf du Pape.
If you are interested in the wines of the region, and not just the Châteauneuf du Pape, book my other tour instead: https://www.viator.com/en-FR/tours/Avignon/Wine-Route-One-Day-Tour/d483 - 391931P4

1Chateauneuf-du-Pape
30 minutes drive from Avignon Tasting in the first estate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is one of the oldest in the appellation, built more than 300 years ago. There you will taste the famous reds of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but also the whites which represent only 5% of the production. This cellar has chosen to keep the traditional blend of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, namely the 13 grape varieties of the appellation (red and white) in the red wines, and the 6 white grape varieties in the white wines. Duration: approximately 1 hour. Then head to another historic estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, one of the largest in the appellation. You will also try the red wines and white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but with a more modern blend composed of the main grape varieties of the appellation (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). Duration: approximately 1 hour. (Non-exhaustive description because it depends on the availability of cellars) 30 minute drive back to Avignon
