Experience Chateauneuf du Pape with us
Chateauneuf du Pape tours are a must-do for wine lovers and will take you on a journey of discovery of one of the breakout stars of the Rhône Valley wine region. Famous for its full-bodied reds, the charming hilltop village is breathtakingly gorgeous, with its imposing castle, atmospheric medieval streets, and magnificent views of the rolling vineyards below. With a modest population of 2000 residents (approx.), the history of the village is deeply connected with the popes in Avignon (14 century) and hence shares the same name as the wine. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is considered –by most– to be the benchmark of the Southern Rhône and is the French wine that everyone deserves to taste.
