You will begin your wine journey in the village of Ampuis, cradle of Côte-Rôtie AOC. You will see the steep hillsides of one of the oldest vineyards in France and begin to understand how these vines have a perfect sun exposition and you’ll learn about the very rich and diversified terroir. You will immediately be seduced by the magnificent view over the Rhône Valley spreading south into the heart of the Saint Joseph appellation in the distance !

You will then be heading south to the Condrieu wine area, famous for its white wines. You will enjoy the intense aromatic Viognier, right where it is commonly regarded that viognier is best expressed and you’ll have another chance to taste the fruity and silky taste of the Syrah grape of the Northern Côtes du Rhône in their original terroir. After visiting this winery, you will now realise that the terroir, the grape variety but also the hand of the winemaker contribute to making unique wines.You will enjoy the intense aromatic Viognier and the fruity and silky taste of Syrah grape of the Northern Côtes du Rhône in their original terroir.

This was such an enjoyable tour! Great to see two very different wineries and learn more about the local wines. A lovely opportunity to get out of the city and see more of the local sights.

This was time and money well spent. I returned knowing more about wine in general and Rhône valley wines in particular than when I left. We had no difficulties booking or during the trip. Our guide was knowledgeable and interacted well with everyone in the group. Yes, I would most certainly recommend this excursion to friends.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment en compagnie de Rhône Trip. Un groupe à taille humaine, une guide passionnée, de magnifiques domaines viticoles... Et bien sûr, d'excellents vins.

Merci pour ce moment !
