Gordana is an amazing and unique tour guide. Her knowledge and enthusiasm make this both a fun and informative experience. She really makes this tour unforgettable!
We learnt all about Châteauneuf-du-Pape, had some wonderful wine tastings, and also learned so much about the region. Gordana clearly has excellent, warm relationships with the producers we visited which made the visits special, and we were given 5-star treatment. I would absolutely recommend this tour, and indeed any tour led by Gordana.

We had an excellent wine tasting tour with Eric who is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and fun guide! The vineyards we visited were excellent and all the guides so knowledgeable.
We would recommend this tour 100%. You will have such fun. Provence with Gordana tour company is the best tour company we used in Provence, genuine, family owned business with small group tours. The best there is.

Gordana is fantastic. She knows the best wineries to go to. The wine tour was exceptional and she knows so much about the area, and shares her expertise with a delightful manner. I would use her, not only for this tour, but for any tour that she does. This was well worth it.

Fun and great learning experience. A tour of the vineyard and winery followed by tastings. Really knowledgeable and informative winemaker whose enthusiasm and passion shone through.
Next was a tasting that showcased the changing wine styles in Chateauneuf du Pape. Very well explained and interesting.
We then went to a vineyard to see the famous pebbles covering the ground, again really interesting.
The tour was run by two cousins who were knowledgeable, warm and a lot of fun. They went to great lengths to try and make it a goo experience for us. Thanks so much for a great day and we will recommend you to anyone coming to the area.

My son and I really enjoyed the wine tasting tour! Our hosts were fabulous and it felt like friends going out for wine tasting, a group of 6 plus the two tour guides. Highly recommend this tour to see Château du Papes!

Honestly the guide was great and the experience was good! The guy that ran the last winery though just talked a lot and there was a ton of down time until you got to taste any wine. They matched me with a great group though and the guy at the end did have great wine!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Jason
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our guide Eric and that the overall experience was good!
We understand that some explanations can seem lengthy, as we strive to make our tours educational and enriching. However, we take note of your feedback regarding the waiting time before the tasting at the last winery. We will work with our partner to find a better balance between information and tasting.
We are also glad to know that you were matched with a friendly group! This is part of the experience we aim to offer our customers.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for another wine adventure where we can provide you with an even better experience.
Best regards,
Gordana

Our guide Eric was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting history of the area. Viator had to pivot our tour due to a spring wine festival. Eric made it work for us! We truly enjoyed going to a small family owned vineyard for a more intimate experience. We learned a lot about growing grapes! We tasted lovely wines and met cool people. This tour was a wonderful way to see this gorgeous area.
Tom_B, Apr 2026
We did a wine tour with Eric as the host. It was a brilliant experience where we got a tour of a winery, got to see the day to day runnings of a vineyard and got to taste a selection of wines for the vineyard. You walk away with a new understanding and passion for wine. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and recommend it to anybody in the area who is looking for a really fun way to spend their afternoon! Eric was also a brilliant host, was very funny and very knowledgeable and enjoyed the tour that much more as he was hosting it.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

This is the 2nd tour we’ve taken with “Provence with Gordana”, a delightful mother/daughter tour company who bring expertise, passion, humor and joyfulness to all their tour itineraries. Gordana was our guide for the day. We visited 2 wineries and throughout our time together, she shared her wealth of knowledge about all aspects of producing & tasting Châteauneuf du Pape wine, including the importance of “terroir”. Our experience felt “magical”, thanks to Gordana’s relationships with the best tasting rooms & sommeliers in the Châteauneuf du Pape region. In addition to the tasting rooms, we also visited a vineyard to see the various conditions in which the grape vines grow. We had an amazing day with Gordana and we highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for taking a time to leave this wonderful review. We are glad to hear how much you enjoyed this wine tour with Gordana. It shows us that all our knowledge and love that we put into our tours is visible. Hope to see you again!
Marina_T, Apr 2026
The wine tour with Gordana was a really amazing experience. We visited two very different Domaines, with tastings but also viewing the cellar and vineyards. We could tell the stops were chosen for their passion behind the wines which made the visit more enriching.
The transport van was comfortable, with air conditioning, and waters included.
Gordana is a wealth of information on the history of the area and wines of the region, and just a fun person to be with :) It was like being shown around by a friend. Can’t recommend enough!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a pleasure to hear how much enjoyed your day with Gordana. She loves what she does and it shows. Hope to see you again!

First - Gordana is an amazing tour guide. She’s very friendly and lively, and makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable on the tour.
The sites she picked were outstanding and chosen with care and deliberation so we would have a unique and special experience. Everywhere we went, we were the only people there. No large tour groups!
The first stop allowed us to see where many producers ferment and age their wines. Got to taste a variety of different specialties of the region.
The second stop was the real winner of the tour and the reason to do this tour. You will be in a 12th century cave tasting several wines hand-picked by a local Master Sommalier, Guy, who knows wine with a level of detail and passion that would be hard to find elsewhere. His selections and the tasting were just an amazing experience that I will remember for a long time. If you have the means, he can ship a case anywhere in the world. The cost is not cheap, but considering you are shipping bottles home that you cannot buy at home, the value is priceless.
Finally, we made a couple stops in some fields to see where/how the grapes are actually grown. We learned so much about “terroir” and the rules governing local growing in the region. I loved all of these technical details. Wine making is really a dance of science and art. Add in the history of the region, the rule-making bodies keeping a level playing field, and the debate of tradition vs using newer methods and technologies, and there was so much interesting stuff to be learned all in one day.
While I would do this tour in a heartbeat, I would encourage those attending to bring some snacks and a bottle of water. We were hungry and thirsty (for water) at the end.

Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of our wine tour. We are glad to hear that you appreciate all the information provided related to wine production. Our goal is to give you a day to remember. As for food, it is customary not to eat during the wine tasting so that the palate is able to fully experience the taste of the wine. Hope to see you again!
Tom_M, Nov 2025
Gordana’s wine tasting tour was fabulous. We had two amazing private tastings at two amazing wineries. Her knowledge of wines and the wine making process along with her infectious personality made our time together fun and educational. Such a fun experience, I can’t wait to return! She also took great care of our group and made sure we were back to our ship on time. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic we learnt a lot and had a great experience. She was very professional but a lot of fun and went out of her way to give us the whole Chateauneuf du Pape experience, from seeing the vines growing, to visiting a wine "cave" where we could taste a selection from different wineries. She also gave us some of the history of Avignon.

Our tour guide Erik took us on a delightful tour of Chateauxneuf du papes in a spacious and comfortable van. We visited several wineries and a wonderful tasting room on top of the hill. The wines we tried were spectacular. After wine we went on a meandering tour of the vineyards up to the old chateau and to the island across the Rhone where we were treated to a sublime view of Avignon. Throughout the whole experience Erik explained the history of the land and the various landmarks we were passing. The tour was easily the best wine tasting experience I have ever been on. Erik was a great guide, he was so patient with our large group, getting the baby seat and stroller in and out of his van and was a very safe and attentive driver. 10/10, wonderful adventure.
