Excellent tasting and wine tour. - We had a great morning. Bastien our guide was informative and helpful. We learned a lot about the region and the winemaking. Justine took us to see her vines and explained some important location information to us, before treating us to a tasting and a tour of her cellar. Then we went to another winery, for some history on their chateau as well as a tasting, including a couple of special surprises. Overall brilliant. I totally recommend. Tour was all in English for a group of only English speakers.

Well worthwhile! - Visited two wineries - one large one small - proprietors were knowledgable and articulate - very different stories. Tasted an abundance of wines. Some straight from the barrel. Tour Guide also great !

More than just wine tasting - Our guide, Lea, was so informative. She explained the history of the sites and the area as well as the foundational information of The wine growing in the Chateauneuf de Pape.

Recommended - Absolutely fantastic morning visiting two wineries tasting our favourite wine variety. Our driver was patient and knowledgeable about the local area. The lady at the second winery was so beautifully passionate about the product and process. She taught us how to taste wines properly. We learnt a lot at the first winery which was also a museum of sorts (more of an education centre). Thoroughly enjoyed.

Meh - The tour consisted of a drive (half hour) to a vineyard , which was lovely. Then a tasting at a very small winery. Owner was lovely and totally invested in her passion. Sadly they winery is not quite up to par - tasting 3 wines from same dirty glass, no water, no bread cubes. But it is a winery in its infancy - neat to see. I enjoyed seeing a winery just getting its legs. Ha ha . Then off to another "winery" . There was no production on site - it was a retail operation. Nothing more. Again, no water, same glass for 3 very short pours (super cheap) no bread. Hostess a bit mean. I have been on many wine tours that are WAY better The guide was clearly just doing his job. No anecdotes, or charm.

Find a different tour - We were longing to have a great tour in Chateauneuf de Pape, but it was not what we expected....! The two domains we visited was good but the guide needs to find a different job (she had a very bad day) ? The guide was more a driver than a guide. Sorry, but we can not recommend this tour mainly because of the guide.
