The Rhone Wine Tasting Breaks

Our Rhone Wine Tasting Breaks are based in Avignon. We visit various premium wineries in the main wine regions of The Southern Rhone, such as Gigondas, the Dentelles (often Rasteau or Seguret), and of course, Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

The 2 Night Rhone Taster Weekend

The Grape Escapes Rhone wine tasting tour includes 2 nights accommodation in your chosen Avignon hotel, plus a full day tour around Gigondas, the Dentelles and Chateauneuf-du-Pape. For prices, please contact us.

Saturday

Gigondas

You will be met at your hotel by our tour guide and will be transported in a luxury mini coach to the village of Gigondas. Here you will visit one of the larger wineries in the appellation. The tour of the domain will start in the vineyards and pass through the winery and caveau before finishing with tastings of a number of their wines from Gigondas.

Lunch

After this visit, the day will continue with a gourmet 4 course lunch at a restaurant in the centre of the village. The lunch includes wines with the meal as well as water and coffee to conclude.

Dentelles

The tour then continues in another of the premium villages around the Dentelles (often Rasteau or Seguret). Here we will visit a smaller, family run domain. Again the winery offers an excellent tour, enjoyable tastings and spectacular views across the vineyards and rugged hills of this part of Provence.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

The day will conclude in the appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You will start by looking at the unusual terroir of Chateauneuf-du-Pape that is responsible for the ultra ripe grapes that come from its vines. You will then visit their cuverie to understand their wine making philosophy before tasting a range of their award winning wines.
