Further information
Morning: You will start your wine journey in the town of Ampuis, the birthplace of the Côte-Rôtie appellation. You will discover the steep slopes of one of the oldest vineyards in France where you’ll see how the sun exposure and the rich and complex terroir is perfect for the red Syrah grape variety. You will immediately be seduced by the magnificent view of the Rhone Valley. During a visit and tasting of 5 to 6 wines in a winery in the heart of the vineyards, you will learn about the origin of this exceptional wine and understand why it is so sought after and why it covers such a small area.
You’ll then enjoy lunch in a local restaurant, reserved by us.
Afternoon: You will then head south to the vineyards of the town and appellation Condrieu, an even more discreet wine, but as important to Viognier as its neighbour is to Syrah. You will push the door of a local winery where you will see that the terroir, the grape variety but also the winemaker make a wine so unique. During the tasting, you will enjoy all the aromatic richness of these great white wines. You will be able to taste the wine of the appellation Saint-Joseph, a wine a little more rustic which is characterised by it’s spicey aromas.

Le point de rdv est facile à trouver.
Mais malheureusement, cette activité s'adresse à un public étranger (ce qui n'était pas précisé sur le site) donc nous en tant que français on a eu le droit à un cours d'anglais.
Sinon le trajet est rapide, la première cave est très bien mais les prix sont pas plus bon marcher que dans le commerce, le choix du restaurant du midi est top mais assez cher également, ma cave de l'après-midi est plus bon marché que celle du matin. Retour tranquille en fin de journée.
