Overview

Avignon and the Palais des Papes & the winemakers of Châteauneuf du Pape, discover what connects them from the 14th century to modern times. Avignon for 70 odd years of the early 1300s was centre of the Catholic world. The skyline a magnificent urban landscape, that includes the Pont Saint Bénezet, Ramparts, Petit Palais, Cathedral & walls of the Popes’ Palace flanked by four mighty towers. Start with a visit to the Palais before a short drive to the wine country. Châteauneuf du Pape is at the heart of a region full of history, culture and joie de vivre. A unique, magical place that appears on the hill like an island rising out of a sea of vines. At the summit the vestiges of the ruined château by the popes in the 14th century as a summer residence to escape the city heat of Avignon. In the afternoon visit two different vineyards - first Château Fortia & Château la Gardine Introducing you to the iconic wines where tradition is enhanced by modernism & excellence, with wine tasting.

Delightful Day in Provence

Published on May, 2023

My husband and I spent the most delightful, memorable, and informative day with Christopher, exploring Avignon followed by wine tasting in Chateauneuf de Pape. He is a terrific guide who totally customized the day to meet our interests and needs. We look forward to returning to Provence and having Christopher as our tour guide to another part of the region.
