Nicolas was a great guide- good fun and really knowledgeable and we learnt lots about wine making and the area during the day.
Lunch was really good too.
We tasted lots of wines including some delicious white and rose wines, as well as the reds, and compared wines made using different methods.
We would definitely recommend the tour.

Just an amazing day with three different tastings in Séguret and Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a lovely lunch on the patio of beautiful chateau. David was a wonderful guide. A must experience in this region. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic day with Thierry! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to three amazing vineyards, each with its own character and excellent wines. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch in a beautiful setting — the perfect break between tastings. I learned more about wine on this tour than I had on any previous ones. There was absolutely no pressure to buy, but the wines were so good that we couldn’t resist sending some home. The tour was an incredible value — honestly, we would have happily paid double for the experience!

Great day wine tour of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nico was very knowledgeable about the region and about wine and winemaking. He made it a fun experience testing our knowledge and teaching us what we didn’t know. We visited two wineries and Cave wine shop that’s located just below the Chateau. Tasted some amazing wines and learned about the different styles of wine from the region. And bought wine to ship back home. Couldn’t ask for a better variety of experiences in one day.

We had a wonderful day out with Nico exploring Chateauneuf-du-pape and Séguret. On the trip, we had 3 different tastings in 3 very different venues, including a wonderful lunch. A perfect day out in the Rhône Valley!

Excellent!! Wine was fantastic and the lunch was delicious. Our tour guide, Bridget was amazing! She was incredibly accommodating, especially with our older relative who struggles with stairs.

I call this the "How to Become a Wine Snob in 3 Easy Lessons". I learned more about making wine in these 9 hours than I had learned in my whole life. I also learned more about wine in general, as well as tasting wine. Our guide, Bridget, was excellent; teaching us about the terroir, the meaning and significance of AOC, and the culture of wine making. The hosts at our three tasting were all so different, but all so informative in bringing their distinct personalities and knowledge to our experiences. Finally, our lunch was exquisite, from the hosts, to the setting - Hotel Le Sommelliere, to the food, and, of course, the wine.

Nico was great and it is a lovely itinerary. We got to try some great wines, learn a lot and take home some new favorites. Thanks for a great day!

Well worth your money because you get the experience you would not be able to get if you tried to explore on your own!

The winery tour and tasting was a great overall experience. It involved small groups and our a tour guide Thierry was very knowledgeable friendly and entertaining. We would certainly do it again! One note and why it only got 4/5 stars was the lack of communication from the actual tour operator. They should make themselves more available. That was disappointing when we left an item in the van and they were zero help.
Bonita_F, Jun 2025
Great tour. Thierry was a great guide- very friendly and very knowledgeable. The views were spectacular and the wine tastings were great. Lunch was at a great restaurant with a table overlooking the valley. There were menu items to make everyone in our group happy and everyone agreed that lunch was excellent.

One of the best day trips my wife and I have ever taken anywhere. Niko was passionate and professional as our tour guide for the day, taking us to experience wine in a variety of unique experiences. Along the way he provided such an amazing commentary and education to enrich our experience. The lunch at the castle was out standing. We were fortunate enough to have an amazing group of others on our particular day which made our experience even better. Can not recommend highly enough! Niko will make your day amazing.
Sheila_D, Jun 2025
Fabulous tour. We can't say enough about our tour guide Nicloa. He was very educated in all aspects of wine from growing it to drinking it. But he also was well rounded in his knowledge. The three wineries/taste testing he chose could not have been more spot on. He was humorous, cheerful and certainly had an inside with all the wineries and their staff.
Our lunch stop, which he picked was outstanding from our table location, the food and a great picturesque view.
We highly recommend this tour and we hope you have the opportunity to tour with Nicola

Anna_S, Apr 2025
Wow! What a day! We really enjoyed the tour and our guide Nico has a deep knowledge of both wine and history! Highly recommended!
Kate_D, Mar 2025
Make sure to have a decent breakfast before you start the tour as the wine starts early! Fantastic experience with a wonderfully knowledgeable guide who made our whole day so memorable.
Lunch at the most beautiful restaurant with glorious views. Food exceptional.
Lovely to travel through the countryside and go off the tourist routes.
Be prepared for 3 vineyard visits and have a few handy snacks in your bag to soak up the delicious wine.

David was took our tour group of eight to three very different wineries. The wineries were distinct and the presentations were informative. David made it a point to make our tour interesting and our stops memorable. We ate at a gorgeous chateaux with a magnificent view. The lunch was one of the best we had throughout our travels in France. Would highly recommend this tour and our tour guide, David.

We had a wonderful experience. We were unexpectedly delayed in arriving at the pick-up meeting point, but the tour company called and went out of their way, far above the call of duty, to find us and pick us up. We were so grateful.
Our guide, Bridgitte was amazing. And the spots chosen for tasting were outstanding, but the lunch was at the Fine Roches Hotel's restaurant may have been the highlight. Again, a great experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and talkative. He brought the wines to live. Lunch was excellent and at a great venue. Tastings were extensive and provided a great overview of the types of wines from the area.
Henry_B, Sep 2024
Fred was a fantastic guide. His knowledge of wine and the area was extensive. The wineries were great and the lunch amazing. We had 6 people on the tour instead of 8 which made travel comfortable. We went with 8 on a different tour the day before and 8 was far too crowded and very uncomfortable. Viator should limit the number or get bigger vans
Vanessa_W, Sep 2024
Hope you get Nicola as your host! He was extremely informative but also kept us in stitches all day! Truly the best host imaginable! We had 3 exceptional tastings and a delicious lunch. The scenery on the drive around the region was breathtaking!
Phyllis_C, Sep 2024
This was a fabulous tour! The three wineries were all unique and offered generous tastings. We enjoyed learning about the various grapes, the aging process and the regulations for certifying the wines. The lunch in Châteauneuf de Pape was fantastic! Loved the small group we were with. Our guide, Chilly, was excellent!
kelly_w, Sep 2024
David our driver/guide was excellent. Great wine touring/learning experience. Lunch was fabulous at Hotel overlooking vineyards. Very enjoyable day and a chance to see some of Provence. Thank you David for a great day. We will not forget the rules of wine growing here!
Martin_H, Sep 2024
We had a great day with David. Pick-up instructions clear, on time and in a nice vehicle. David was friendly, good humoured and very knowledgeable.
