Great wine tour

Geraldo_S, May 2024

Nice wine tour with a great guide/sommelier. You will taste diferent wines and learn a lot about wines.

Fantastic Guide

Boris_O, May 2024

The guide was extremely knowledgeable in the art of wine making and shared her knowledge in a clear and friendly manner. She also was able to blend three couples into a comfortable touring group. This was the most comprehensive and pleasant wine-tasting tour I have taken.

Great day!

Katherine_C, May 2024

We really enjoyed this wine tour. Our guide Valentina was amazing. She taught us so much history of the area and we learned a lot about the wine making process, and what makes it unique in this region. It rained the entire day which could have negatively impacted our experience but Valentina did a great job of keeping us engaged and taking advantage of the breaks in the rain when we could see amazing views as well as the vines up close. We had four tastings during the day, three at vineyards and one at the tour operator’s wine shop. The vineyards were great but the wine to purchase was expensive. The restaurant we were dropped at for lunch was beautiful and had amazing views but was slightly expensive for the quality of the food. The one suggestion I have for the tour operator is to ensure the pick up location in Viator is where you will actually pick up. The location in the app/tickets said one location while an email confirmation said another. I messaged the tour operator to get clarification and didn’t receive a response. We picked one of the two to meet at and were luckily correct but a couple in our group went to the other location and it took awhile to find them, communicate with them and we started the day late. Otherwise, great experience. Valentina was a gem. I would do another tour with her without hesitation.

Marvellous Chateauneuf-du-Pape tour and tastings

Robert_B, May 2024

This was the ultimate Chateuneuf-du-Pape experience. Our guide Marlene was a fully qualified sommelier who was able to give us a wealth of information about soils, overcrops, grapes, rules, fermentation, storage, tasting notes and in short everything you could possibly want to know about the wines and the appellation. We joked with her that there would be a test at the end - and we could have easily passed it, but wanted to fail and return the next day for a retest! The wineries visited all had different expressions and opinions about how to get the best out of the soils and climates of the region. We learned about the effect of the Mistral winds and how the growers deal with them. The wines were all excellent and in fact most of us purchased a case to send back to the US - very reasonable in that the savings in avoiding the French taxes was pretty much close to the shipping cost - ad the cost was a huge savings compared to what we would have to pay in the US. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys good wine.

enlightening

Monet_E, Apr 2024

Marlène was awesome. She made trip very enjoyable and I learned a lot. She shared her knowledge and love of the area.

Great opportunity!

Anonymous, Apr 2024

It was a great experience! It’s hard to come around several wineries by myself, but this tour allows to make it. The tasting at each winery was so interesting and fantastic! Thanks Marlne😃

Wonderful informative tour

Sonja_R, Apr 2024

Just a spectacular tour. Roman is extremely knowledgeable yet explains things in laypersons language. He brought lots of insight into the region and its practices. And the wine tasting was stellar. It was a bonus to visit his wine shop at the end to taste other great French wines from outside the region to compare the styles. A great day

A not to be missed experience!

Robert_B, Apr 2024

Romain was our tour guide—very knowledgeable about both the local and the wines of Chateauneuf du Pape. BTW: He is also a fourth level sommelier. Great tour and enjoyable day!

Lovely day in French wine country

Jessica_M, Apr 2024

We had such a magical day exploring Chateauneuf du Pape and learning all about the amazing wine culture of this region with our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Romain. He was such a lovely and charismatic host, it felt like we were spending the day with an old friend. The tour included such beautiful vineyards and delicious wines, we ended up cultivating a nice collection to take home and enjoy. We hope to be able to return someday soon, and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who will be visiting Avignon!

Great tour from a great guide and Sommelier

Andrew_D, Mar 2024

Romain was an amazing guide and Sommelier! We learned so much and had such a great time going to all of the tastings and enjoying all of the scenic views. Would definitely recommend!

A fabulous wine tasting day

Douglas_T, Mar 2024

Our tour guide was exceptional. Her knowledge of wine was extensive and she is passionate about the wines of this area. She was kind and generous with her time. We enjoyed all the tastings including the unique experience of tasting some wines that were still in the early unblended state. We learned so much and had a marvelous experience.

The perfect day visiting Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine region!

Ashley_S, Dec 2023

We spent the day with Marléne (tour guide) visiting Châteauneuf-du-Pape wineries and had the most wonderful time! Marléne was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and provided a perfect environment for learning about and tasting wines of the region and also creating space for the group to have a lot of fun! Even through challenges with traffic delays due to areas of flooding of the Rhine River, Marléne was the most fabulous host and was able to keep us on schedule visiting all of the wineries scheduled on our tour. I will be highly recommending this company for tours of Provence to all of my friends and family.

Excellent Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine tour.

Lynne_I, Nov 2023

Romain is an excellent, engaging guide for a day of tasting. He has personal access and connection to wonderful wineries, and he shares so much of his vast knowledge in an interesting and enjoyable way. We bought our favorite bottles from two different wineries through his shop at the same price, and It was easy to arrange shipment to the U.S. We highly recommend Romain for a great day in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Fantastically thoughtful tour!

Dean_H, Nov 2023

Romain was absolutely wonderful. He felt like a friend from the very start. He is knowledgeable about the wine culture and the history of the area. The transportation is comfortable, the group is small, Romain’s English narrative is clear and friendly. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken.

Best day in Provence!

jean_s, Nov 2023

Our wine tour with Romain was our best day in Provence! Romain was very knowledgeable, had everything organized for our day, (including lunch reservations), and was fun to be with! Great lifetime memories.

Exceptional wine tour!

An_N, Nov 2023

This is the best wine tour we have had so far. Romain, our tour guide, also a sommelier, is knowledgeable, he not only explained the wine making process in an easy-to-follow way but also provided lots of information and history about the wineries we visited. His connection with the people in the village makes this wine tour exceptional, that we could walk around and observe different areas in a winery from the fermentation, aging to the wine cellar (you probably cannot get this in other public wine tours). This tour is highly recommended if you are in to chateauneauf-du-pape wine. Totally worth it!

Best tour ever

Barbara_R, Oct 2023

Our guide (Roman) was very informative and charming. We learned lots about wines and the wine region. The scenery, the wineries he selected and the restaurant chosen for lunch were amazing. Best tour we have taken and most informative wine tour ever.

I learned new things...

Linda_F, Sep 2023

I learned new things about wine making, we could ask questions and the tour guide really made sure that we get together as the group for the day. The lunch was excellent and at a beautiful place. It was also very clear that the guide works with wine himself, so he could add some personal touch to what he spoke about.

Do not miss!

Jessica_L, Sep 2023

Such a great tour! Romain was incredibly knowledgeable about the region and the wines (he’s even a sommelier!), and had a great sense of humor. The wines were all unique and quality. We even had a delicious lunch by a castle. And the other people in our small group were very fun. Definitely recommend!

Awesome tour

Grace_X, Aug 2023

Great tour! This was the highlight of our Avignon trip. We had a wonderful time with our guide, Romain.
