Summary:
A delightful excursion that combines stunning vineyard scenery with expert guidance. Our knowledgeable guide took us through three family‑run estates, each offering a distinct expression of the iconic blends. Tastings were generous yet well‑paced, and we learned the nuances of terroir, aging, and famous techniques. The small‑group format allowed plenty of questions, and the complimentary cheese board paired perfectly with the wines. Easy pick‑up from Avignon and a memorable glimpse into one of France’s most celebrated appellations—highly recommended for both novices and connoisseurs.
