Very informative introduction to Chateauneuf du Pape wines. Sylvia was an excellent guide. - Learned about the AOC chateauneuf du pape. Sylvia was friendly and very informative. We saw a vineyard with the stones that are used to retain the heat for the soil. Visited a family owned cellar, as well as a more commercial type enterprise. Both are in the Chateauneuf du Pape village. I highly recommend this tour for wine lovers and for wine newbies. The tastings were excellent and I didn’t even end up with a headache, the wines were that good. Bathrooms available at both sites.

A wonderful visit to Chateauneuf-du-pape winery. - Our guide, Josh was funny and informative. The winery tour was very interesting and we loved both the wine tasting. Really appreciated to stop at the remains of the Pope's summer palace to take pictures of the scenery.

Great wines, beautiful scenery, charming and knowledgeable guide! - Our guide, Sylvia, was super knowledgeable about not only wines and wine production, but also tons of cultural information about Provence and Chateauneuf-du-Pape. We had a fantastic autumn day - the weather certainly plays a big role in your experience.

Great tour; bring snacks. - This was a wonderful tour. Our guide was well-informed, charming, and funny. The tour was informative with great tastings, but not overwhelming or exhausting. Bring snacks (crackers or something) because there are none on the tour.

Okay Tour But Not Worth the Price - The wineries were lovely, the driver was very pleasant and the van was nice and roomy. However, for a small tour we had to wait half an hour for an other tour van to arrive at the second winery before they would start the tour. We were left milling around in their shop with no real interaction with staff or guide.
