Clémence was a perfect guide with outstanding knowledge on wines and the Chateauneuf du Pape and Côtes du Rhône regions. She was a fabulous driver, very kind and had amazing relationships with wineries throughout the region giving the group a memorable experience we will never forget. The wines were delicious, the scenery was beautiful and we owe it all to Clémence!
Great exposure to the region and very knowledgeable guide. She had a passion for the area and wine and took the time to share in as much detail as we asked for.
Our guide, Coline, was fantastic. Very warm, very knowledgeable. We felt very welcome at all of the wineries we visited and got to see a nice variety. Delicious and elegant lunch spot. Be aware that summer here can be very hot, although low humidity. But the spotless, air-conditioned van was the perfect remedy. Would definitely recommend!
My wife and I went on the full day Châteauneuf-du-Pape tour and we are had an absolutely incredible time! Our guide Clémence was Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the wines of CDP and the surrounding appellations and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to explore Châteauneuf-du-Pape. One final note was the that the final tasting in a wine store at the heart of Châteauneuf-du-pape was a particular highlight and a great way to end the day! 11/10 an exceptional experience, will definitely be back to enjoy more wines on the Luberon tour!
Excellent tour led by Coline. Great wines with great guidance and learning about CdP history, terror, grapes wines and wineries. The last tasting, at the wine shop, provided opportunity to taste and discuss wines not on the tour. Tour highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you. I'm so glad you enjoyed discovering the history, terroir, grape varieties, and wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. I'm also happy you appreciated the final tasting in our wine shop—it’s always a great opportunity to explore a few extra wines and continue the conversation! Thank you again for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Châteauneuf-du-Pape someday. Warm regards, Coline

Clemence was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the area and the wine. There was freak issue during the tour where the van window broke that was well handled and we joined Colin for a winery who was also fantastic. Highly recommend. One suggestion would be to give something to write favorite wines were- they have them all at the shop but we didn’t have much time to decide and make a purchase at the time (possible to do later though).
Thank you so much for your kind review and recommendation! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, despite the unexpected issue with the van window. Thank you for being so understanding—it was certainly an unusual situation! We were both very happy to spend part of the day with you and are glad you still had a fantastic experience. Thank you as well for your suggestion about providing a way to keep track of your favorite wines. It's a great idea, and we'll definitely look into implementing something like that. We hope to welcome you back to Châteauneuf-du-Pape someday! Warm regards, Clémence & Coline

Clemence was our tour guide and she was fantastic!! the tour was incredible. The wine couldn’t know them better gorgeous places very easy to meet up and to travel lots of wine :).. a wonderful lunch, a sweet town and a mix of a small vineyard, medium sized vinegar and very large vineyard, including some châteaus. Clemence was an incredible tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and clearly knew the vineyards well and the people well so well that they allowed her to give us some of the tours and for Wine without any oversight it was truly a personal and authentic experience.

Our guide was Clémence. She was a wonderful guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the wineries we visited. The tour started at 9:30 sharp and by the time we returned to the pickup point, it was 6:30pm. Its was a full day of program. We visited 3 wineries, the Chateauneuf castle remain and then did more wine tasting at a wine cellar. It’s more expensive than other half day tours but i feel it’s well worth the money. Strongly recommend if you are in this region and want to learn more about the wine of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you and sharing the wines, history, and unique character of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the selection of wineries, the visit to the castle ruins, and the final tasting in our wine cellar. Thank you as well for your kind words about my guiding. It means a lot to know that you found the experience both enjoyable and informative. My goal is always to help guests discover not only the wines, but also the stories and people behind them. Thank you for your recommendation, and I hope to welcome you back to Châteauneuf-du-Pape someday for another memorable day of wine tasting! Warm regards, Clémence
