Wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and surrounding areas in 1/2 day
You will visit all along the tour in 3 different wineries, including at least 1 located in the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation area (appellation with more than 300 producers). You will taste at least 3 wines in each area.
Subject to the availability of the estates, one of the 3 wineries is located in Beaumes de Venise, country of Muscat (natural sweet wine), another in Gigondas (famous for its red wine) and a third in Châteauneuf du Pape (world famous for its red wine but possessing a quality white).
In case of unavailability of the partner domains of Beaumes de Venise and/or Gigondas, it is possible that we go to a domain in Séguret, Vacqueyras or a second domain in Châteauneuf du Pape.
