Chateauneuf-du-Pape Wine Tour
- Type:Wine Tasting or Winery Tours
- Duration:10 Hours
History and wine can be enjoyed together as a perfect match on this five-hour afternoon tour. Explore the Roman town of Orange for a panoramic tour of its Roman landmarks including the Roman Arch of Triumph and the ancient theatre, the Theatre antique d'Orange. Recall the afternoon's sights while savouring a sample of the world-renowned wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Orange is renowned for its Roman architecture and its Roman theatre and is a Unesco World Heritage Site. The Theatre antique d'Orange is described as the most impressive ancient Roman theatre still existing in Europe. Playing a major role in the life of the citizens, who spent a large part of their free time there, the theatre was seen by the Roman authorities not only as a means of spreading Roman culture to the colonies, but also as a way of distracting them from political activities. The fine Triumphal Arch of Orange is said to date from the time of Augustus (the emperor during the life of Jesus Christ) and was built on the former via Agrippa to honour the veterans of the Gallic Wars and the Roman legion, Legio II Augusta.
Enjoy a wine tour as you stop at select vineyards between Orange and Chateauneuf-du-Pape and taste some of the fine cellar offerings. In a traditional shop, you will find a wide range of wines and Provencal specialities which you can purchase if you so desire. A visit to a delightful Provencal market in Orange is also available on Thursdays.

Tour the most beautiful hilltop villages of the Luberon valley such as Roussillon and Gordes, where you can capture the breathtakingly beautiful landscapes with photostops. These picturesque villages were made famous by Peter Mayle in his book, A Year in Provence.
Luberon is said to present the best that France has to offer. Spectacular countryside with vineyards and orchards abounds and fascinating hilltop villages perched over the countryside provide outstanding natural produce. This is the landscape that so inspired the artists Van Gogh and Paul Cezanne and you can see why. After the scenic drive up into the hills, there is a stop in at the villages of Roussillon and Gorde. A gourmand experience in a Provencal market in either location is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Exceptional wine, cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables that taste like they used to can all be purchased for your enjoyment. The produce is of course wondrous, sold directly by the producers to you in the delightful atmosphere of these quaint and picturesque villages.
If you are fortunate to be visiting between June 15 and July 15, you can also breathe the scent of Provence with a stop at Senanque Abbey to take pictures of the marvellous blooming lavender fields.
