Avignon for 70 odd years of the early 1300s was centre of the Catholic world. The skyline a magnificent urban landscape, that includes the Saint Bénezet Bridge - the famous Pont d’Avignon, the Ramparts, Petit Palais, Cathedral & walls of the Popes’ Palace flanked by four mighty towers. Start with a visit to the Palais before a short drive to the wine country. Châteauneuf du Pape is at the heart of a region full of history, culture and joie de vivre. A unique, magical place that appears on the hill like an island rising out of a sea of vines. At the summit the vestiges of the ruined château – wall, tower & lower hall built by the popes in the 14th century as a summer residence to escape the city heat of Avignon. It was the popes who planted the town's first vineyards. In the afternoon visit two different vineyards - first Château Fortia & Château la Gardine Introducing you to the iconic wines where tradition is enhanced by modernism & excellence, with wine tasting..

I can't give this a high enough rating. My husband and I were staying in Arles and wanted to see Avignon and the area around, but we didn't have a car. Christopher and I emailed ahead of time and he put together an itinerary that was perfect. We saw more in a day than we would have seen in on our own in a week. All in a way that felt unrushed and informative. He was a pleasure to spend the day with! We would do it again in a flash!!!

I can’t say enough good things about OohProvence! My husband and I booked a day tour of Avignon and the vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape and it was our favorite day of the whole trip! A friend recommended the company and they were so right! Our tour guide, Laurent, tailored the whole day to us. We started with a tour of the Palace of the Pope and a walking tour of Avignon and I loved that we were able to move at our own pace throughout. Laurent was so knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions throughout the day. After the city tour we drove out to the vineyard, where we were treated like old friends! The private tour and tasting there was my favorite part. We had the whole place to ourselves and I loved learning all about how the wine was made and also the history of the region and the vineyard. Beyond the tour, Laurent gave us advice and recommendations for some of our other destinations. All day Laurent treated us like friends rather than tourists and it made the experience feel so much more authentic. It was a bit of a splurge compared to some other tours but the quality of the experience made it worth every penny in our opinion. If we make it back to Provence we will 100% book another tour with them!
