- Chateauneuf-du-Pape - 30 minutes drive from Avignon
Tasting in the first estate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is one of the oldest in the appellation, built more than 300 years ago. There you will taste the famous reds of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but also the whites which represent only 5% of the production. This cellar has chosen to keep the traditional blend of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, namely the 13 grape varieties of the appellation (red and white) in the red wines, and the 6 white grape varieties in the white wines.
Duration: approximately 1 hour.
Then head to another historic estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, one of the largest in the appellation. You will also try the red wines and white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but with a more modern blend composed of the main grape varieties of the appellation (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre).
Duration: approximately 1 hour.
