We did the full day Southern Rhône trip and loved every minute of it. You drive about one hour to the first winery, taste 6 delicious wines then head to a scenic overlook of the Rhône valley. We stopped at a restaurant in Tourlon. Lunch is at your cost but the place they took us to was excellent and very reasonably priced. Then you stop at the second winery and taste an additional 5-6 wines. Wines we tasted were Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne and Syrah. A glorious day with a wonderful guide. Drive back was about 1 hour 15 minutes.

The tour was very well organised and interesting. Eddie our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about wine and made the tour informative and fun. The two host at the wineries were equally friendly and enthusiastic. An all round great experience!

Took the Northern Rhone full day tour with Raphaelle November 2023. She was very knowledgeable, engaging and brought us to the most delicious restaurant for lunch. We tried 3 different locations ranging from single family winery, small operation scaling up and a coop of over 200 growers. Wine was delicious with a wide variety showing the range of the valley. The entire trip was full of laughs, good answers and I can say I learned a lot on this trip. Cannot wait to come back to the region to explore more and cannot suggest taking a tour with Raphaelle more.

I had a wonderful time. Raphael made every attempt to create a unique experience for us on what started as a rainy overcast November day - event as to calling upon the sun to make an appearance later in the day.
