What are people saying about Avignon

Shelley_A, Jul 2026

Arnaud's Half Day Winery with Lunch: a true gem!

Arnaud was a fabulous host and tour guide. Our group was very diverse (a couple from Switzerland, a couple from Australia, a woman from Hungary, a gentleman from Canada (French speaking), and a gentleman from California who moved to France 4 years ago) and me (an American from Florida). Luckily for me, everyone (including Arnaud) was comfortable with English. He was so knowledgeable about each of the histories of the wineries and the history of wine making in that area. We were greeted at each winery with a sommelier who guided us through their process. After the second winery, we had a delicious family-style meal compliments of Arnaud himself. He had fresh goat cheeses from his village, two types of tapenades (the black olive one was delish), fresh hard boiled eggs from his parents' farm, and the freshest cantaloupe I've ever had. We sat at a picnic table under a tree in the vineyard with a breeze blowing. I felt like a true Parisian! By far an amazing tour. I had a day to spend alone in Avignon and I was thrilled to spend it with these other travelers, lovely wines, and a fantastic tour guide. Book this tour. Arnaud is a one man business and deserves many years of tours. If this is any indication of the quality of tours he offers, I would have loved to try his other four tours. Thanks, Arnaud for a fabulous day!

Châteauneuf du Pape Wine tasting and winery tour

We cannot recommend this tour enough! Emile was an incredible guide, sharing his wealth of knowledge and doing so in a really pleasant and friendly manner. The tour lasted 4 hours and we saw 2 amazing vineyards in CNdP and had a very pleasing amount of delicious wine. At each vineyard we were very grateful to spend at least an hour with very knowledgeable guides, we saw so much inside and outside (we don’t want to give too much away!) and learnt so much about the region. 5 stars doesn’t do this tour justice!

This is a walking food...

This is a walking food tour. We made four stops. We had regional appetizers and an olive oil tasting in the covered market. We stopped at a cafe for wine and cheese. The baked Camembert was amazing. After that we stopped at another cafe for dessert. The chocolate mousse and tiramisu were delicious. Our last stop was a candy store where we samples candy and flavored honeys. Our guide, Nasta, was very knowledgable of the area, so we learned a lot also.
