Provence & the Rhône Valley Wine Tour - The Mighty Rhône

The Rhône Valley is one of the most versatile wine regions of France, home to literally hundreds of wines. Our wine tour of Provence & the Rhône Valley begins in the charming village of Lyon. In this celebrated city, we blend the region's history with tastings of its finest wines in single-vineyards. Largely unknown outside of France 50 years ago, the northern Rhône is now famous as the birthplace of Syrah. This region also features Viognier, which were almost extinct until the late 20th century when Rhône growers cultivated its renaissance. As the Rhône flows south, we’ll enter the rugged Mediterranean area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, and the Côtes du Rhône. You’ll marvel at the picturesque landscape as well as the wines, which are coveted for their complexity and their power. And, as the Costières de Nîmes is proving, the southern Rhône is an area that continues to develop and surprise for years to come. Throughout our trek along the Mighty Rhône, no matter where you are, you will discover first-hand how the desire for excellence and the winegrowers’ devoted labor of love have given the Rhone wines their real personality!
