Châteauneuf-du-Pape is southern France's most prestigious wine town, located in the sunny Rhône Valley. The vineyards here have a rich history stretching back to the 14th century, when the popes brought vines to the area. The most famous grapes are Grenache and Syrah, which create the full-bodied and elegant wines that have made the village world-famous.
The best way to experience the vineyards is on foot. Let yourself be guided by a local wine expert during a half-day tour and enjoy delightful wine tastings among the rolling vineyards. Most days also offer the opportunity to visit different wineries and taste their unique vintages.
The hike also takes you to the hills above Gigondas, another iconic village known for its spicy, red wines. Here you are met with breathtaking views over the Rhône Valley and the magical landscape where wine and nature merge together.
