Provence & the Cotes du Rhone Wine Tours
"The Mighty Rhône"
The Rhône Valley is one of the most versatile wine regions of France. Largely unknown outside of France 50 years ago, the northern Rhône is now famous as the birthplace of syrah, and home to the finest Viogniers.
As the Rhône flows south, you enter the rugged Mediterranean landscape of Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, and the Cotes du Rhone. These wines are prized for their complexity and their power. And, as the Costières de Nîmes has proven, this is an area that will continue to develop and surprise for years to come.
Our Provence & the Rhône Valley Wine Tours begin in beautiful, historic Lyon. From the start we blend the region's history with tastings of its finest wines. You will enjoy private single-vineyard wine tastings in Côte Rôtie, Cornas, and Hermitage. From Avignon you will visit Provence's landmarks in Avignon and Arles, while comparing superb wines from the Cotes du Rhone, Costières de Nîmes, Gigondas, Châteauneuf du Pape, and more.
