Côtes du Rhone Private Wine Day Tour by Vintage Range Rover

About this tour

Spend eight hours exploring the Côtes du Rhône's finest vineyards in a private Range Rover, guided by someone who knows the region inside out. Visit celebrated appellations—Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph—and taste up to eight wines from both established family domaines and emerging producers. Stop at a hidden medieval village producing rare, sought-after bottles known only to insiders, then settle into lunch at a neighbourhood spot locals actually frequent. Learn the stories behind the wines, including peculiar traditions like fruit-in-glass techniques.

Highlights

• Eight wines across 2–4 family and boutique estates
• Medieval village with confidential micro-appellation wines
• Local charcuterie and cheese pairings at tastings
• Lunch at unmarked local restaurant, off typical routes
• Winemaking heritage and production techniques explained
• Private Range Rover transport from Lyon available

What to expect

Your guide collects you from Lyon (or a local meeting point) and drives you north into rolling vineyard country. Each stop reveals a different corner of the Rhône Valley—you'll walk through cellars, chat with winemakers, and taste their work alongside cured meats and cheese sourced by your guide. The pace is unhurried; there's time to absorb how soil and altitude shape flavour here. Lunch breaks the day properly, eaten somewhere genuinely quiet. The medieval village visit is the tour's centrepiece: narrow streets, vines climbing stone walls, and access to wines produced in such small volumes they rarely leave the region.
