Savor the bold flavors of the Southern Rhône on a full-day wine journey through one of France’s most celebrated regions. The experience begins in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where rolling vineyards and sun-soaked galets roulés stones shape powerful, full-bodied reds layered with black fruit, spice, and notes of garrigue.

A relaxed gourmet lunch follows at a charming Côtes du Rhône estate. Regional dishes highlight the flavors of the Mediterranean and pair beautifully with fresh, expressive wines. In the afternoon, the exploration continues to Vacqueyras or Gigondas. These rising appellations are known for structured reds with a mineral backbone and elegant hints of cherry, licorice, and thyme.

Throughout the day, participants meet dedicated winemakers and gain insight into the terroir, traditions, and craftsmanship that define each bottle. This immersive tasting experience offers a deeper understanding of Rhône Valley wines beyond the well-trodden path.
