Designed specifically for Avignon river cruise guests, this private shore excursion takes you just beyond the city to discover one of the Rhône Valley’s most renowned wine regions: Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With short driving distances and a carefully timed program, this experience offers an efficient and rewarding introduction to Provençal wine culture.
Travel in a premium air-conditioned minivan with your professional English-speaking driver-guide through vineyards shaped by the Rhône River and the famous galets roulés stones. Along the way, learn about the appellation’s history, grape varieties, and winemaking traditions.
The excursion includes visits to two selected wineries, where you will enjoy tastings and gain insight into both traditional and modern Rhône Valley winemaking. A brief stop in the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape allows time to admire vineyard panoramas and understand the site’s papal heritage.
Walking is limited and optional, making the tour well suited to cruise travelers. No lunch is included to ensure smooth timing and a punctual return to your river cruise ship in Avignon.
