Great wine, great guide, great tour - I highly recommend this tour! It was the perfect length (3-3.5 hours), our tour guide Joce (sp?) was fantastic, the wine we tasted in Chateau-Neuf-du-Pape was delicious, we learned a lot, and we just had tons of fun.

Wine tour from Avignon - We had tried to book the afternoon tour and it was overbooked so viator got us a spot on the morning tour. On the way there we got stuck in traffic and had to meet the tour at the first vineyard location. Tour operator was very helpful in getting us there. Tour of the two wineries was wonderful. Tour guide was extremely friendly and kind. The guides at both vineyards as well. Liked the first winery better than second but definitely recommend.

So many wineries, so little time! - Of the 325 wineries in the Chateauneuf du Pape region, this 4 hour tour visits two. The vineyards are breathtaking and so is the wine. If you are looking for a short excursion and good wine, this is it.

One great, one commercial winery. - Very nice and knowledgeable guide that made a difference. Small sized groups that is also nice. Paired one very good vineyard (5 tastings and tour) with a more commercial winer that has large groups from cruise ships (wine and staff very good, no tour). Brief 5 minute stop at ruins of pope’s summer palace before tastings was interesting.
