A small-group Chateauneuf-du-Pape wine tour from Avignon with a terroir lesson, private chateaux, tastings, and a lunch stop.
“Max was an incredible host! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and animated. We got to try 17 different wines, primarily reds with a few whites, at 3 wineries and 1 cave. It was cool to see the different ways each family / vineyard produces their Chateauneuf de Pape. We got dropped off at a lovely terrasse to have lunch looking over the fields. It was storming but luckily we were inside the cave and everything went smoothly. Would highly recommend! Would definitely take again.”

A 5-hour small-group minibus tour from Avignon to Luberon’s lavender fields, Roussillon, Gordes viewpoints, and a Senanque Abbey photo stop.
“Our guide, Emilie engaged 8 people of different ages for the entire tour. She shares a lot of information and history, but makes it easy to listen as she adds lots of humor as well. We were given lots of time at the various stops, to use washrooms and/or grab a snack. I would highly recommend this tour. Linda”
