Wines

You can learn more about the famous Côtes du Rhône Wines. Stroll through the vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is without a doubt the most prestigious of the Rhône Valley’s wine-making villages. The best part about a tour is getting into the heart of the countryside: walking along farming tracks between vines of Grenache and Syrah, taking you past some of the village’s most fabled estates. And of course, a wine-tasting…

You can visit the local markets and taste the delicious Provençal specialities for your daily picnics along the trails! We can inform you of the best places to get fresh goat’s cheese, charcuterie, quiche Lorraine, wine, olive oil and where to find the best baguettes. After your picnic along the trails, you can then stretch out on the thyme-laden hills, slip your backpacks behind your heads, and let the chant of cicadas soothe you into a sleep: SIESTA time.
