The best time we spent in Southern France

We booked a Châteauneuf-du-Pape tour during our trip through southern France, and Coline made it one of the highlights of the entire trip. From the very start she was warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about the region — the kind of guide who makes you feel less like a customer and more like a friend she’s excited to share something special with. What stood out most was how thoughtfully she tailored the day to us. She has a real gift for reading what her guests are after, and she met us exactly where we were: patient with our questions, never rushed, and happy to go deeper whenever we wanted to understand more. She explained the terroir, the grape varieties, and what makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape so distinctive in a way that was clear and engaging without ever being overwhelming. By the end of the day, we weren’t just tasting the wines — we actually understood them. Beyond her knowledge, Coline is simply lovely company. Kind, attentive, and easygoing, she set a relaxed pace that let us savor every stop. If you want to do more than just sip a few glasses — if you genuinely want to deepen your appreciation of CDP wines and the place they come from — I highly recommend her.

Well paced tour of three vineyards and wine shop with a terrific guide explaining the many aspects to wine making and the history of the region. Tastings were thoroughly explained with a wide variety of wines to understand the various blends and techniques. Very educational and enjoyable - especially the amazing lunch!

Fantastic - well worth the cost

This all-day experience was worth every penny. We learned along the way so much about Chateauneuf du Pape grapes, wines, winemaking, history of winemaking in the region, all topped off with a wonderful wine tasting at each stop. Coline was such a fantastic guide through all of this, and her close relationships with the operators of each winery we visited enhanced the visit at each venue. The lunch, relaxing and unrushed, was a gastronomic delight in a fabulous setting (lunch cost is not part of the booking fee, as is clearly stated). I would highly recommend booking with this service vendor.

Very educational day of enjoying CdP wine!

What a blessing to have booked this tour! It far exceeded our expectations because we got Roman as our guide who could not have been more knowledgable. The vineyards we went to were perfect and the wines were delicious. The very best part of the tour ended in Roman's wine cave where we enjoyed wine listening to Edith PIaf on vinyl. This may seem like a pricey tour, but it was well worth it to get to know Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines!

10/10- Don't miss out

Our Chateauneuf du Pape tour was a phenomenal day. Our tour guide Clémence made our day unforgettable. We learned so much about Chateauneuf du Pape and the wines the region had to offer. The vineyards we visited were very friendly and welcoming. You could tell that she had a passion for the wines she introduced us to which made the experience even better. Clémence had a lunch reservation for us at a beautiful castle that had an amazing view of the area and the food was in itself an experience. On our way back to Avignon we ended our day at a Chocolate shop. 10/10 recommend. A wonderful day filled with history, amazing wine, good food, and great people.

Highly Recommend!

Roman was an amazing guide, and the tour honestly made our trip to Châteauneuf-du-Pape exactly what we wanted it to be. We had taken other tours while in town, and they did not compare. If you want to learn about wine and visit quality estates, this is the tour. We had a nice mix of people with different levels of knowledge and interest, and everyone left happy after a great day. I especially appreciated that Roman is a true wine expert, so you can go as in-depth as you want, and he is able to answer every question in a friendly, approachable way.

Fun tour of Chateauneuf du Pape

We had an amazing time exploring the wines of Chateauneuf du Pape and others from the Rhone region. Coline was an excellent guide, she was super knowledgeable and expertly answered all our questions. We had a lovely lunch with a nice view. The tour was so much fun thanks to Coline. We ended up buying multiple bottles that we tasted along the way.

Educational, beautiful and delicious!

We are still talking about how superb this experience was for us. It was educational, beautiful, and delicious! Lunch at the castle was a highlight. We had a bit of miscommunication about the meet up point, but once we got together it was all excellent. The information provided, the selection of wineries including small family operations, and a rich sense of history was interesting. Our guide really explained the key aspects of the unique environment, grapes, and the processes involved. He was super knowledgeable.
