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.

This was an exceptional tour which we enjoyed immensely. We were a small group of 5 people. Our driver/guide, Eric was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, engaging. The van was comfortable and clean and Eric was an excellent and safe driver. Water was provided. The highlight of the afternoon was the two winemakers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that Eric had selected for our afternoon tour. They were not the usual larger houses, but instead excellent, passionate and authentic winemakers who made for very personal experiences at both. One was a young “rebel” from an 9th generation family and named one of the “ones to watch.” We had a very intimate tasting with him and learned about his limited production, tasting 5 of his wines. All were outstanding. Next a larger house with a very passionate 4th generation winemaker. Here we began our tour in the vineyard, learning about varietals and terroir. Again, we tasted 4 wines, all excellent. Eric told us in advance he draws no commission and there is no pressure to buy. We bought a case of wine from each winemaker. Eric was very helpful re shipping and gave us the exact cost; let us know that we could bundle the two cases to save on the shipping and that he would provide our shipping details with the shipper. We highly recommend . The entire afternoon tour was beautifully and seamlessly arranged.
We had a wonderful tour with Gordana. Her knowledge and passion are striking. We couldn’t recommend a tour with Gordana more highly.
Eric was a wonderful driver/guide. Time was well balanced between two wineries and a stop to look at the vineyards. Eric was very knowledgeable ans had a great relationship with the two wineries.
You will need a credit card to bring as you are going to want to send these spectacular wines home!!!!
We had a great time on the wine tour with Eric! He was an excellent and funny guide and navigated us easily to all of the different locations. We visited one winery, one wine cave with a tasting by a master sommelier, and some grape fields. The history and context along with the tastings made this a highlight of our trip. The wine cave tasting with Guy was our favorite part - he was excellent! Merci Eric and team for a wonderful time.
Great tour and wine tastings at Chateauneuf du pape! Our tour guide, Eric, did a fantastic job, and we tried some amazing wines!
We had a wonderful time on this wine tour! It was not only an enjoyable experience but also incredibly informative, giving us a fascinating insight into the wines of the region and the traditional and modern methods of winemaking. Our guide Erik was exceptional In his knowledge of the region, its history, and its wine-making heritage, and not to mention his great sense of humour.
From entering Vaness til we parted company on the return to avignon we were entertained and educated on weather, soils and temperatures as the important elements in great wines. At both stops, chateau Maurcoil and Cave Charles we thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Amazing wines

It is loads of fun and very informative. A real education in wines of this area. We visited two wineries and also visited the Chateau in Chateauneuf du Pape for an amazing view of the area. There was a lot of time spent driving but truly appreciated Erik’s knowledge of the area, the appellations regulations and the winemaking practices. Highly recommend this tour.

Thank you for your 5star review. It is great to hear that you enjoyed this wine tasting tour at Chateauneuf du Pape with Eric. Hope to see you again!
Emily, our tour guide was engaging with all of us (6) on the tour. She made it feel more personal than being on a busload of strangers. After the second winery stop, I realized this was not a 3 hour tour. With Emily's help and the wonderful consideration of the other two couples, they got us back to our ship before it left the port. I sincerely thank all of you for helping us in a panic situation.
When I booked the tour I thought it was a 3 hour tour (see copied text from Viator below), but turns out it was for 5 hours. Itinerary
Chateauneuf-du-Pape Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the most famous names in wine.
The landscape here is sun-baked, with stony, sandy soils, dry scrubland, and of course, lots of vines.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape has served as a gateway to the wine world. If you get a taste for this region’s wines, chances are, you’re going to be hooked.

We were happy we took the Wine Tasting Tour at Chateauneuf du Pape from Avignon. There was only group was quite small, and our guide Eric was most helpful and friendly. It was a great experience visiting vineyards and tasting wines in both Chateauneuf du Pape and the Cotes du Rhone - different wines but equally fabulous.

We had an excellent day and experience with our Chateauneuf du Pape tour guide, Eric. The tour was a hit and we visited an excellent family winery and wine cellar in the heart of CdP. Our guide, Eric, was awesome; extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. This trip is a must do when in Coted du Rhone region.

Very informative. Quality over quantity. Visited one very good vineyard and one average. One more stop and less driving would be better
This was a fun afternoon visiting two wine makers. I loved all the wines presented! So good! Our guide, Erik, was full of details about the countryside and even gave us a historic overview of Avignon.

Great tour with Eric. Eric was knowledgeable and funny which made the tour even better. Eric took us first to a small, family run winery where we learned about their history, the process, and region. This was followed by a stop in the local vineyards and a stop at a fantastic wine cave in the town of CDP. Overall, it was a really nice mix of wine tastings and learning about and seeing the broader region.

A sensational guide combining the knowledge of a vigneron with the wit and charm of a born raconteur. We had a great trip to one of the largest chateaus in Chateau Neuf de Pape and a wonderful cave for tastings. The winemakers were exceptional and the wine delicious. Highly recommend

First- Chateauneuf de Pape is not a winery but a region of wine producers in southern France. With this tour you will a lot about what makes French wine different from any other wine in the world. Great way to quickly and deliciously learn about French wine making.

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.

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.
