Châteauneuf-du-Pape has served as a gateway to the wine world. If you get a taste for this region’s wines, chances are, you’re going to be hooked.

First - Gordana is an amazing tour guide. She’s very friendly and lively, and makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable on the tour. The sites she picked were outstanding and chosen with care and deliberation so we would have a unique and special experience. Everywhere we went, we were the only people there. No large tour groups! The first stop allowed us to see where many producers ferment and age their wines. Got to taste a variety of different specialties of the region. The second stop was the real winner of the tour and the reason to do this tour. You will be in a 12th century cave tasting several wines hand-picked by a local Master Sommalier, Guy, who knows wine with a level of detail and passion that would be hard to find elsewhere. His selections and the tasting were just an amazing experience that I will remember for a long time. If you have the means, he can ship a case anywhere in the world. The cost is not cheap, but considering you are shipping bottles home that you cannot buy at home, the value is priceless. Finally, we made a couple stops in some fields to see where/how the grapes are actually grown. We learned so much about “terroir” and the rules governing local growing in the region. I loved all of these technical details. Wine making is really a dance of science and art. Add in the history of the region, the rule-making bodies keeping a level playing field, and the debate of tradition vs using newer methods and technologies, and there was so much interesting stuff to be learned all in one day. While I would do this tour in a heartbeat, I would encourage those attending to bring some snacks and a bottle of water. We were hungry and thirsty (for water) at the end.

We had a very nice afternoon with Gordana as our guide. The tour started in Avignon and we visited 2 wineries at Châteauneuf du Pape. On the way, we received a lot of valuable information about the wine from this growing area from Gordana. The second tasting took place at Les Cave St Charles and was sensational in terms of entertainment and wines served. Afterwards Gordana drove us through the beautiful countryside back to Avignon and we ended the tour with the spectacular photo stop on the historic buildings of the city at sunset. We can highly recommend Gordana and her company.

Absolutely delightful afternoon learning about the world famous terroir and importantly, tasting a well curated variety of small producer wine. Gordana loves the area, shares that well, and connects with visitors from around the world. Highly recommend!

Emily is an amazing tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tastings at 2 wineries and the knowledge that she shared with us. At one winery, Emily knew the staff and they invited us to celebrate the wine makers birthday with them. We came back to the USA with wonderful memories of our afternoon in the stunning area of Chateauneuf du Pape. Emily offered to take photos and knows the best locations. We first took the day of Provence tour with Emily and enjoyed our day so much that we arranged this wine tasting tour. Emily is a safe driver, and the van was very comfortable. I highly recommend this family run business!

Gordana’s wine tasting tour was fabulous. We had two amazing private tastings at two amazing wineries. Her knowledge of wines and the wine making process along with her infectious personality made our time together fun and educational. Such a fun experience, I can’t wait to return! She also took great care of our group and made sure we were back to our ship on time. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Our guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic we learnt a lot and had a great experience. She was very professional but a lot of fun and went out of her way to give us the whole Chateauneuf du Pape experience, from seeing the vines growing, to visiting a wine "cave" where we could taste a selection from different wineries. She also gave us some of the history of Avignon.

Fantastic Tour with Gordona!! She is delightful and a true expert on the Châteauneuf du Pape wines, region, and history of the area. If you have interest in any of those things, you will love this tour. She makes it very comfortable and truly enjoyable. It could not be done any better.

We had a wonderful afternoon exploring Chateauneuf du pape and tasting some amazing wine. Don't worry if your not a wine expert, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had. We had two small children with us who happily played with any pets/farm animals the vineyards had. This was my daughters favorite part of the trip. Highly recommend!
