Avignon & Châteauneuf Du Pape Full Day Private Tour

Step into the rich history and refined flavors of Provence on a full-day private experience combining culture and wine. Accompanied by your English-speaking driver, discover the historic city of Avignon, once the seat of the Papacy in the 14th century, and stroll through its beautifully preserved old town. Dominating the skyline stands the majestic Pope’s Palace, the largest Gothic palace in the world and a powerful symbol of the Church during a defining era of European history.

As you wander through the historic center, admire some of Avignon’s most iconic landmarks, including the legendary Pont Saint-Bénézet (Pont d’Avignon), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Cathédrale des Doms, recognizable by its Romanesque silhouette and golden statue overlooking the Rhône.

The journey then continues toward Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a medieval hilltop village surrounded by one of France’s most prestigious wine appellations. After a lunch arranged for you, enjoy two wine tastings at selected estates (subject to availability and timing). At places such as Les Caves Saint Charles, tastings are led by wine professionals who bring each cuvée to life, sharing the character of the wines and guiding you through aromas and styles.

Another possible stop is Château La Nerthe, one of the region’s oldest estates, set among rolling vineyards and elegant grounds. Here, the serene atmosphere and historic cellars offer insight into centuries-old winemaking traditions, perfectly complementing the refined wines of the appellation.
