Wine Tasting Tour in Châteauneuf du Pape

The Châteauneuf du Pape Appellation was one of 6 to be labeled as the first AOC wines of France in 1936. The vineyards, planted by the Romans, were extended and developed by the Pope's residing in Avignon popes during the 14th century.

As you reach this famous wine producing region, discover the village and its ancient castle that was the summer residence of the Pope's during their stay in the area. Here, you will enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view on the valley.
