What to expect
Your driver collects you from Avignon and heads south into wine country. The first stop is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate, where you'll taste reds built from the region's signature blend of Grenache and other southern Rhône varieties. After exploring the village and its surrounding slopes, you'll drive into Luberon territory, stopping at a second vineyard for another tasting showcasing the area's different terroir. Between tastings, you'll pass through Gordes—expect narrow lanes, stone houses, and sweeping views across the valley. Bring an appetite; tastings pair better with lunch, which you'll need to arrange separately.
Good to know
Book wine estates in advance through your tour operator. The route involves some winding roads; take motion-sickness precautions if needed. Wear comfortable walking shoes for vineyard visits and village exploration. Bring sunscreen and a hat. Most tastings require at least modest appetite or prior food.
