⚠️ New vehicle from March 2026! 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 and its world-famous wines. 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
