A Worthwhile Wine Tasting Afternoon. - Our guide Sylvia drove us to two different wineries of the Chateauneuf de Pape wine region. She was very informative, friendly and humorous and provided many anecdotes/insights on our way to the wineries. At the wineries, winemakers discussed details regarding the process of producing the wines and we had tastings of several wines in each winery. It was a worthwhile, entertaining and educational afternoon. Recommend!

Fun and informative! - While waiting to meet up with other groups, we got a free look into an old castle with a vinyard nearby as an added bonus! I booked this tour not knowing anything about wines but came out knowing the basics on how to judge a good wine.

So- so wine experience - Our driver was really just transportation up to Chateauneuf Du Pape. She didn’t share too much about the region or the wine, a little disappointing. The two wineries we visited were great, though we waited 25 minutes for the first one to be available. After it was over, I felt like we could have done this ourself really.

Nice afternoon - Our guide Brigitte was very nice and the transport van very comfortable. Because no one was late she made a quick detour through the vineyards to see the vines.
We visited 2 wineries, maison BROTTE which had a wine museum and maison Bouachon. In maison Bouachon we were explained how to taste the aromas in wine which was fun. We ended with a visit of the castle.
I’m giving 4 stars because altough the tour was agreable, the wine tastings were rushed (especially Brotte which felt very commercial)

Wine tasting in Chateauneuf - We visited two good wineries, with 3 tastes at each. Stopped by the chateau ruins with great view of the area.

Not anything special - Mediocre wine tasting tour, not anything special at all, I expected more then just been shuffled around in a tight time schedule, and I also expected more from this “famous” wine district. You don’t get anything to eat or taste with the wines, not even water. So I would recommend some other tour than this
