Let our local experts teach you all about this essential region's sublime wines! On our tour we will discover the history of wine and enjoy some great wine tastings with Syrah-based appellations (Côte-Rôtie, Saint-Joseph) and Viognier-based appellations (Condrieu). Peacefully set between the Rhône river and the hills around, the vineyard gate is a unique place to enjoy a pleasant moment. Everything around reminds you how much work it takes to grow the vines clinging to the hill and how useful are the stone walls dating back from the time of the changing era. And what about the wines? The reds are full bodied and very elegant at the same time. With hints of black cherries, pepper and violets, the Côte-Rôtie are undoubtly able to age well for years and are really nice to drink in their youth. The whites are flavoury and mouth watering with their fruity notes of apricots and white peaches. The winemakers I selected are nice and willing to share their passion!
•9:15 pick up at your hotel. •10:00 visit of a first winery in the beginning of the Rhône valley area, the place where Côte rôtie and Condrieu wines are produced.

We will enjoy a tasting. •11:00 wine tasting in a second winery. We will explain the French « AOC » label system which is based on soil, origin and grape variety. You will enjoy some of the greatest wines of the region made of Syrah (Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie) and Viognier (Condrieu) grapes. To reach the top we will follow up the road and enjoy the view above the river. •13:30 in Tain l'Hermitage we will stop in a restaurant where local dishes are served.
