Very informative introduction to Chateauneuf du Pape wines. Sylvia was an excellent guide.

5.00Learned about the AOC chateauneuf du pape. Sylvia was friendly and very informative. We saw a vineyard with the stones that are used to retain the heat for the soil. Visited a family owned cellar, as well as a more commercial type enterprise. Both are in the Chateauneuf du Pape village. I highly recommend this tour for wine lovers and for wine newbies. The tastings were excellent and I didn’t even end up with a headache, the wines were that good. Bathrooms available at both sites.
A wonderful visit to Chateauneuf-du-pape winery.

Enjoy wine!

3.00The wineries were lovely, the driver was very pleasant and the van was nice and roomy. However, for a small tour we had to wait half an hour for an other tour van to arrive at the second winery before they would start the tour. We were left milling around in their shop with no real interaction with staff or guide.
Fantastic wines and...

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Our guide was well-informed, charming, and funny. The tour was informative with great tastings, but not overwhelming or exhausting. Bring snacks (crackers or something) because there are none on the tour.
