5.00My wife and I had the most incredible day on a private wine tour through the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region, and it was all thanks to our exceptional guide, Laurent. From start to finish, the experience was flawless, informative, and unforgettable. Laurent is not only deeply knowledgeable about the region and its wines, but he also has a real gift for storytelling. He made the complex world of Rhône varietals, terroir, and winemaking history accessible and engaging without ever feeling overwhelming. We left each stop feeling like we had genuinely learned something, not just sipped and moved on. The selection of wineries was top-notch—beautiful, welcoming, and diverse in style. We had the chance to taste both big names and smaller producers, which gave us a well-rounded perspective on the appellation. The pace of the day was perfect: relaxed, never rushed, with time to truly enjoy each visit (and the stunning scenery along the way). If you’re even considering a wine tour in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, go with Laurent. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the region and memories you’ll talk about long after the bottles are gone.

5.00Christopher was outstanding. A native English speaker who is French fluent and passionate about wine. We visited three vineyards and each was unique where we met friendly staff. We were on time everywhere without being rushed and he even booked us a reservation for lunch. Thanks Chris!
Best Day of Our Trip!

5.00Exceeded our already high expectations for Châteauneuf du Pape. Lovely private tour with Christopher our guide. Each winery was selected with great care, no large tour group drop off. Small family owned wineries where we were given a tour only for us in wonderful private settings. Lovely 3 course French lunch. Knowledgeable, excellent English, impeccably clean car, private tastings, good humor and great fun. We will only hire Christopher or Lauren on our next trip to Provence. Highly recommend you book them early!

5.00I did not expect this would be so personalized and private. I expected a group of 8 and it was just my husband and myself. Laurent is so fantastic! He knew the wine staff and even took us on a tour of a small town before lunch. Lunch was an amazing small restaurant where we even got to meet and talk to the chef. This was a memorable experience and I cannot wait to schedule my next trip!
Amazing wine experience
