About this experience
Discover the exquisite wines of Côtes du Rhone on this full-day tour led by a local Insider. Explore renowned appellations like Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Saint-Joseph, while tasting up to 8 exceptional wines from family-run estates to innovative newcomers.
You'll learn about the region’s rich winemaking heritage, including unique traditions such as the pear-in-the-bottle. For lunch, enjoy a regional meal at a discreet local address, rarely found on itineraries.
Beyond the vineyards, the journey also leads to some of the region’s quieter gems including a forgotten medieval village surrounded by vines, where time seems to stand still. The village is home to one of France’s most confidential wine appellations: just a few hectares producing intense, highly sought-after wines, reserved for those in the know.
