Avignon: Full-Day Wine Tour around Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Nicholas was amazing as a tour guide! He was funny, intelligent and willing to answer any question we had!

We loved our tour with David! Probably one of the best tours we have been on! We learnt so much, tasted many wines and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit a great selection of wineries in the area!

We were lucky to be the only two people on the tour, and to have David as our tour guide. He taught us so much about the various categories of wines, the grapes and their specific qualities, and how the terroir plays a huge part in the final product. Of course, the different methods of storage and the types of barrels used also affects the taste. There were many wine tastings and each one was amazing and very informative. We also had a chance to visit very old wine cellars (which had interesting stories) and get a good understanding of the wine making process. We also learned about the different philosophies that producers can have, and the freedom for being creative, as long as they follow the rules for producing the particular grades of wines. We were driven to a beautiful castle/restaurant for gourmet lunch, overlooking rolling hills and vineyards. This was a perfect way to end our France vacation. If you can ask for a tour guide, ask for David!
