Our tour starts October 6 in Lyon and after orientation
we leave the next day for 3 nights in the Valence
area, heart of the Northern Rhone Valley. Besides Syrah,
the Northern Rhone also produces the Rhone’s famous
white wine-Condrieu from the Viognier grape.
We then proceed south to Avignon for 4 nights in the
Southern Rhone. The most famous wine here is Chateauneuf-
du-Pape but there are many rising stars such
as Gigondas, Vacqueyras and let’s not overlook the best
Rosé in France: Tavel.
And as for the other parts of our tour: cuisine and
culture, the Rhone Valley is a veritable treasure trove.
With Vin’s guidance, you’ll experience some wonderful
examples of French cuisine and culture.
When the tours ends October 14, we’ll transfer to
Marseille where we return home ...or join Vin on his
Tour of Provence.
