Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Exclusive Provence Wine Odyssey

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.

A delightful excursion that combines stunning vineyard scenery with expert guidance. Our knowledgeable guide took us through three family‑run estates, each offering a distinct expression of the iconic blends. Tastings were generous yet well‑paced, and we learned the nuances of terroir, aging, and famous techniques. The small‑group format allowed plenty of questions, and the complimentary cheese board paired perfectly with the wines. Easy pick‑up from Avignon and a memorable glimpse into one of France’s most celebrated appellations—highly recommended for both novices and connoisseurs.

Romain’s private full day Chateauneuf du Pape tour for the four of us was outstanding. Given he is a WSET Level 4 diploma certified sommelier (and teaches levels 1-3), his detailed knowledge of wines and winemaking extend far beyond the Chateauneuf du Pape AOC. Romain selected excellent wineries for our tastings, all of which he has longstanding relationships with. The lunch reservation he arranged was in a beautiful setting and the food and service were exceptional. Overall the tour was beyond our expectations and Romain was simply a delight to be with. Thank you Romain for the wonderful day!

Great tour with delicious wine and a very knowledgeable and personable guide. A must do when visiting this region.

Max was an outstanding guide who provided us with a thorough description of the wines produced in the region. He covered the soils, grapes, blends, vineyards, barreling and labeling that distinguish French wines in an informative and humorous manner. We sampled no fewer than thirteen varieties which allowed us ta taste the differences of what Max had explained. Great tour!

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!

It's not often you see anything on trip advisor with exclusively 5 star reviews, but believe the hype. We had SO MUCH fun on this tour. There were 7 guests, so we got individual attention from Max, our lovely guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We did four tastings and had a delicious lunch over about 8 hours. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Max was a wonderful guide, and really knew all about wine! It was a lovely day and great experience!

Great, well worth the $ and Max was a great guide! Really appreciated the personal touch and thoughtfulness of the tour.

A great day of learning and sipping the great wines of Chateauneuf du Pape. Scenery and lunch top off the wine. Highly recommend.
