From Avignon: Wine Tour to Châteauneuf-du-Pape

About this experience

Guided Winery Tour to Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Avignon This ticket grants entry to a guided winery tour departing from Avignon and travelling through the scenic Rhône Valley to one of France's most celebrated wine regions. Your English or French-speaking driver-guide collects you from the city centre and transports you in an air-conditioned minivan to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the landscape, soils and centuries-old traditions have shaped a winemaking legacy unlike any other in Provence. Your guide leads visits to two carefully selected wineries, where the hosts provide tastings of local wines alongside expert commentary on flavours, terroir and production methods. During the visits, your guide also points out the ruins of Pope John XXII's summer residence, the historic landmark that gave the region its name and helped establish its winemaking heritage. Choose between morning and afternoon half-day departures, or upgrade to a full-day tour that extends into the beautiful Luberon region for further winery visits and vineyard exploration led by your guide. The experience suits wine enthusiasts of all levels, from curious beginners to seasoned connoisseurs.
