An unforgettable journey, filled with beautiful scenery, wonderful aromas, amazing wine tastes, spectacular cellars, exciting tasting rooms, and an ocean of knowledge from tour guide Clemence! I enjoyed every second! Merci beacoup!

It was a privilege to spend the day with a top sommelier like Roman. I learned a lot, I just hope I can retain it. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants a true French wine experience. It was worth every cent. If you are thinking of doing this, stop thinking and sign up. You will not regret it.

    The wineries were wonderful. The Chateauneuf de Pape is such a beautiful area of France. Roman was the best tour guide. He had many insights and connections with the wineries and region that few could boast. We highly recommend this tour.

    Great variety of wines to taste in wineries that each had their own special character. A day we'll spent with a very knowledgeable and capable guide

    The BEST wines ever!

    Jim_M, Mar 2026
    My husband and I both traveled to many countries exploring the love of wineries. We didn’t think any country out there could possibly beat the California wines in the USA, until we came here!! These wines are amazing! Highly recommend this trip! We had a lack of communication with the start point, so get that settled BEFORE hand. You will be very glad you chose this!!

    Sunny with a side of wine

    We were so fortunate to have Roman as our guide. He is a certified sommelier and resident of Chateauneuf de Pape. He was passionate, engaging,& incredibly knowledgeable. The wineries we visited knew him well and truly respected him and his wealth of information. It was a beautiful day with both the weather and our guide. We would highly recommend this tour with Roman.

    Extraordinary Wine Tour with "Provence and Wine"

    Jerry_K, Mar 2026
    We had a wonderful tour with Clemence from Provence and Wine two days ago. We met her in Avignon at 9:30 and she drove us away and up to Chateauneuf du Pape for a full day of wine and information. She is an extraordinary young woman, full of excitement for the subject, and well-educated - a perfect guide for this experience. We visited two domains in the morning, at which we tasted 4 and then 3 different Chateuneuf du Pape wines. Clemence then brought us to a really nice restaurant where my wife and I had a wonder lunch (accompanied by another glass of wine, of course). We took about 15 minutes at the end of the lunch break to walk around the village and take some photos. After lunch we visited two *more* producers, including Chateau La Nerthe, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) in the Appellation, at which we tasted another number of different wines. Those at this Chateau included a couple of wines we could not afford to touch on our own at the prices being asked at retail - wonderful, wonderful wines. Finally Clemence brought us to the Provence and Wine Cellar, where we listened to a record and sampled a few more wines. An incredible full day, lasting almost 8 hours door-to-door, at which we tasted 17 (we think - lost count!!) wonderful wines. We didn't turn our noses up at a single sip. Highly recommended the tour, and the guide!

    Sheila_P, Feb 2026
    We learned so much from our wonderful and knowledgeable guide, Clemence, who showed us all aspects of the winemaking process from vineyard to vintage. We tasted amazing wines at each of the wine castles, enjoyed a gourmet lunch in between(optional) and finished strong with a blind tasting in which we got to test our new found knowledge.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Dear Sheila, I’m so glad to read your review. I also had a wonderful time with you and your family. The blind tasting was truly a lot of fun! Enjoy your wines, and always remember this lovely moment. Clémence

    Chateauneuf through the eyes of a local.

    Max and Clemence were wonderful tour guides. Their knowledge and passion for wine were amazing. They picked up up, took us to amazing wineries and guided us around the area. Their local wine shop was georgeous as well and the tasting room so cute. A great tour I wouldn't hesitate to take again.

    Perfect Provence Experience

    A perfect Provence experience. Romain was a trained sommelier and a wonderful guide. His knowledge and expertise was astounding. We visited 4 completely unique wineries. The arranged lunch was fabulous.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the wines, and that your guide made the experience both informative and enjoyable. Thank you for your recommendation. We’d be happy to welcome you on another tour in the future.

    A perfect day

    Deb_E, Oct 2025
    What a wonderful day with multiple ‘pinch me’ moments. Romain is an incredibly generous host, sharing his deep knowledge of wine in general and Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines specifically. He is a great educator, tailoring his discussion in ways that make complex information easy to digest. The domains we tasted gave us an insight into the different approaches taken by winemakers and an opportunity to experience a good range of wines from this renowned appellation. The venue for lunch was glorious - delicious food and wine, overlooking beautiful scenery on a warm and sunny day. Perfect!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    We’re so glad to hear you had such a memorable day with Romain. It’s wonderful that the tastings, insights into winemaking, and the beautiful lunch setting all came together for a perfect experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d be delighted to welcome you again.

    We had an awesome time, the wine was amazing, the time at each location was perfect, and the information we learned on the region and types of wine at each vineyard was really cool.

    Max our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The wine tasting venues were magnificent and so was the wine! I highly recommend this tour - you will not be disappointed. the food and service at the restaurant recommendation that we got from Max was also amazing!!

    Loved it!!!

    Amazing day Tour with a knowledgeable professional Sommelier. The only way to do it. We had a fantastic day following Roman and learning about the cultivation of wine. He took us to wineries that surpassed our expectations and catered to all. Would definitely highly recommend this tour.

    Thomas_C, Sep 2025
    A great wine tour to 3 vineyards, plus final wine tasting at a shop. Max, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Lunch takes place at another vineyard, and was very good, but not included in the price. That cost €28 for 2 courses or €35 for 3. Overall tried a great selection of wines throughout the day and learned a lot about the variety of styles produced in CdP

    Small group wine tour with knowledgeable and friendly and engaging tour guide. Beautiful wine region and short distances travelled.

    Great wine!

    Pamela_G, Sep 2025
    It’s tricky meeting the guide in Avignon. Activate What’s App and plan lots of time to park. Once we connected, Max was great.

    Fantastic experience with very knowledgeable guides and a generous amount of wine!

    Jade_C, Sep 2025
    We had a great time with our guides for the day. We learnt a lot from our very knowledgeable guides and tasted a lot of wine! The small group allowed for a catered experience, the selection of wine venues and lunch venue was perfect and finishing up at the store in Chatenueff Du Pape was a great way to end a very generous tour. Thank you so much, will definitely recommend to others!

    Excellent

    Brad_S, Sep 2025
    Great tour with Max. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. There were many good to excellent wines at the locations where we tasted at. We had about one and a half hours for lunch that he had set up at a nice restaurant. We finished at his wine cave/shop where we tasted more wines and could also purchase anything we tasted earlier that day, versus buying it at the wineries themselves. That was convenient, you don't have to lug around wine bottles all day. He can also ship the wines to you. Very accommodating.

    Fabulous Experience!

    Kathryn_M, Sep 2025
    We learned a lot, from the grapes in the field to the processes at harvest, to winemaking. Great scenery, and the tastings are managed superbly. Worth every bit of the cost. No regrets - one of our best days on the trip.

    Don’t skip this tour in Chateauneuf de Pape

    Stephanie_S, Sep 2025
    Max was an incredible host! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and animated. We got to try 17 different wines, primarily reds with a few whites, at 3 wineries and 1 cave. It was cool to see the different ways each family / vineyard produces their Chateauneuf de Pape. We got dropped off at a lovely terrasse to have lunch looking over the fields. It was storming but luckily we were inside the cave and everything went smoothly. Would highly recommend! Would definitely take again.

    Excellent choice for wine lovers visiting this region

    Elad_N, Aug 2025
