Amazing experience
Colin is an excellent guide, she explained us all about the wines of this region. It was a wonderful experience. All the places that we visited were very good. And the lunch place amazing. We really recommended this tour. Thanks a lot

Highly recommend!
Wonderful day exploring the wine region of Chateauneuf du pape. Coline the tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable, she was the highlight of the tour. The winery stops were all unique in their own way and of course the tastings were great. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was very good. I highly recommend this experience!

Amazing tour, fun, knowledgeable
We did a full day tour with Romain, and it was fantastic. We have done multiple wine tours in Italy and other parts of France and this was one of the best. Although we are knowledgable about wine, CNP is an area we were not as familiar with except for drinking at restaurants. Romain thoroughly explained the grapes for the region, brought us to a vineyard to see all of them, explained how the area and the rules and winemaking work. Also he is fun. He is native to the area. He brought us to three extremely good wineries for tours/tastings. Between our second and third visits we stopped for lunch at Hostellerie de Chateau des Fines Roches. He had reserved a table for us at the front of the terrace with an amazing view. Lunch was fabulous and remarkably reasonable. We met Romain in Avignon. After the wineries, we went to his wine cellar/shop in CDP for some last tastings and a little quiz. His cellar is pretty special too. At the end he dropped us in Avignon at our car. Highly recommend.

My husband and I...
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide Corine was extremely knowledgeable and may this experience even better. Being able to visit multiple vineyards and taste different types of wine, and also different techniques which are used in the winemaking, made this tour an interesting experience. My husband and I make wine in our home so we really enjoyed learning even more and getting to taste these beautiful wines. The restaurant where we were brought for lunch was exceptional. Sitting outside with a beautiful view, and the wonderful dishes that were served to us is something that my husband and I still talk about and share with our friends. I love the little place that we went to at the end w where we sat and listen to music and finish our day. I would highly recommend this tour if you were looking to enjoy several different wines rather than just going to one winery. It was our anniversary that day,and it was a great way to celebrate.

The best wine experience.
Romain was an absolutely incredible guide. He knows so much about the region, wine, vines, grapes, history, etc. So personable and welcoming. We had a great time with him. Would absolutely recommend him/his company to anyone traveling the area.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Avignon.
How much does Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Avignon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Avignon is not rushed.
Is Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 577 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Avignon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour?
+
Around 202 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Avignon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Avignon and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Avignon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Avignon?
+
On Outty we rank every Avignon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Highlights of Provence in One Day, Lavender Route - Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon, Luberon Hill-top Villages Small-Group Day Trip from Avignon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Avignon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Avignon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour?
+
In front of the restaurant SEVIN next to the Palais des Papes Depending on the Guide (Roman, Clemency or Hill), the pick-up address may vary. You will be notified by a Viator message in case of change. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour?
+

Is Chateauneuf du Pape wine tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
