Taste the red wines and white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the oldest French appellation (created in 1936), but also the iconic appellation of the southern Côtes-du-Rhône.
The tour will take you to 2 domains located in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation area, known to be among the oldest and/or most renowned of the appellation.
The particularity of Châteauneuf du Pape wines is also found in its diversity. Although the King blend remains the GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre), French regulations allow the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation to produce the blend or mono-variety they wish, as long as the varieties used are included in the list of 13 varieties allowed in Châteauneuf 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
