The
Rhone Valley offers wine lovers a unique combination of beautiful scenery, delicious Provençal cuisine, and full-bodied, expressive wines.  Join us as we follow the mighty Rhone River (right, seen from the vineyards of Condrieu) from Vienne to Avignon and taste the best this fascinating region has to offer.  We begin in the Northern Rhone, where Syrah and Viognier bring unmatched elegance to prestigious wines like Côte Rôtie, Hermitage and Condrieu.  Exclusive tastings will include the two finest négociants of the region, Guigal and Chapoutier.  Your first-class accommodations are at 4-star Hostellerie Beau Rivage, where you'll dine at their and lovely 1-star restaurant overlooking the Rhone. 

Heading south, you'll discover the charming medieval villages and colorful red tiled roofs of Provence. Explore the famous appellations of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Tavel, Gigondas and Cotes du Rhone Villages with tastings at some of their finest estates, including renowned Chateau de Beaucastel. Your home will be the luxurious 4-star Hotel d'Europe in Avignon's historic walled city, close to the majestic Pope's Palace, shopping and restaurants.  Between tastings, you'll experience the rich history and flavors of Provence as you visit Roman ruins and enjoy gastronomic meals at Avignon's best Michelin-starred restaurants.
