About this experience

This full-day private tour takes you through Avignon and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, focusing on the Palais des Papes and local wine. Participants will explore the Palais des Papes, Europe's largest Gothic palace and the papal seat in the 14th century. The tour then proceeds to the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where you will learn about the influence of the Popes on this prominent wine region. The experience includes private guided visits and tastings at selected family-owned estates. This tour is suitable for those interested in history, architecture, and wine. It is not ideal for large groups, as it is designed for a more intimate setting. Booking in advance is recommended, and be prepared for a day of exploration in the vineyards and historical sites.
