If you’re a connoisseur of fine wines, join us on a unique private day tour to some of the premier vineyards in Châteauneuf du Pape. This includes a historic family estate that has been farmed for 600 years by the lineage of Pope Urbain VIII, producing world-renowned wines. The village of Châteauneuf du Pape is a historical hub nestled amidst a sea of vineyards, crowned by a hill where the remnants of a 14th-century château stand. This castle was built by popes as a refuge from the sweltering summer heat of Avignon, and marked the beginning of viticulture in this region. Upon arrival, we’ll visit the first local vineyard to understand the unique appeal of its wines. After a leisurely lunch, we’ll explore two contrasting vineyards, one of which is an 8ha estate dedicated to the appellation, and a 43ha family property cultivated by five generations of winemakers. We’ll then guide you through the renowned Châteauneuf du Pape wines, founded in the 1880s, where tradition melds with modernism and excellence, including a wine tasting session.
