Châteauneuf-du-Pape Wine Masterclass from Avignon: Two Wineries and 5 Hours

This masterclass is built around the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the first French AOC and the best-known name in the Rhône Valley. The group visits two wineries and tastes at several cellars, guided through professional tasting technique along the way. The lessons are about why this place makes the wine it does: the unique terroir, and the 13 authorized grape varieties. It suits wine enthusiasts who want more depth than a quick pour at the counter. The outing lasts 5 hours, three of them spent at the wineries.
