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.
After pickup in front of Hôtel Bristol, in Avignon, I will lead you in 2 different wineries (out of more than 320), among the most renowned. You will taste at least 6 different wines in total, 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.
Keep in mind that you can obviously buy bottles directly in the wineries, but they also provide shipping from door to door. Of course, you will have to pay for the shipping price (but you will save the 20% French VAT). It can be very interesting if you love a specific wine a lot, because it could be very hard (or sometimes even impossible) to find in your own country.
At the end, you will be dropped off in Avignon, in front of Hôtel Bristol.
