Join me on this guided tour of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine region. It’s a small area located on hills, with soil covered in river rocks that provide ideal drainage and retain warmth at night. Our guide, Romain, was a fourth-level sommelier.

This is video #8 of 10 of my May 2024 solo trip to two wine regions in France: Bordeaux and the Rhône Valley. After flying from USA to Paris, I took the TGV train to Bordeaux, where I explored La Cité du Vin Museum and visited the historic wine town of Saint-Émilion. I took a tour to the Médoc region and visited Arcachon, a coastal town in France. In Arles, I followed the Van Gogh Walk, then visited the famous Pont d’Avignon. Next, I enjoyed a wine tour in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, followed by an electric mountain biking adventure in Annecy. My trip concluded with a stop in Geneva before returning to the USA.
