One of our favorite regions to take guests to on one of our WineInProvence Wine Tours is the gorgeous wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. For our guests that are fortunate enough to join us in this region and have a keen eye (very few I must admit…especially after a day of wine tasting), they’ll notice this same [...]

Recently retired, Bob and his wife Arlene from New Jersey decided to celebrate with a trip to Europe. They joined us for a wine tour in the Palette AOC which is a tiny wine region just outside of Aix en Provence famous for making wonderful rosé wines. Palette is the smallest wine region in Provence [...]

WineInProvence recently hosted Susan and her husband on a customized full-day wine tour. They are working in the television and film industries in Los Angeles, CA but have a heart for France. Together, we visited two fabulous wineries and explored the villages of St. Rémy & Les Baux de Provence, two of the most beautiful [...]

This fall the WineInProvence team took a research trip to the Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, and Vacqueyras regions of France. We set off to have a marathon wine tasting day and experience some of the places that we had not yet been to in these areas. Our mission; to expand our winery contact list and find some [...]

Our favorite restaurant in Châteauneuf-du-Pape has just opened it’s new wine cave. They serve the wines of the most prestigious French estates, such as Château Beaucastel, Clos des Papes, and Vieux Telegraphe. These three wineries only allow some of the big studs of the wine industry into their tasting rooms (i.e. Kermit Lynch and Robert Parker), so [...]

I have just recently come to Provence to work as an intern for WineInProvence and what a treat it has been! The wineries I have visited in just one week of living here have been exceptional. A perfect example is the brand new tasting room of Château de la Galiniere located on the ascending slopes at [...]

  Often times during our Vineyard and Winery tours, we experience awe and wonder- from discovering a new, perfectly harmonious pairing of wine and cheese to a peaceful moment ambling through the gnarled vines and marveling at the fact that they have produced world-class wine for over a century. Nestled in the northern slope of [...]

I took photo below last week while on a Chateau Tour of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.  It’s harvest time in the south of France and basically all rules and norms go out the window and three weeks of organized chaos sets in.  I’m sure this magnum at Domaine de Beaurenard will come in handy as the workers approach [...]

Have you ever felt the urge to drop everything- job, mortgage, responsibilities – to travel around the world? Some people might call that a mid-life crisis, others might say it’s wanderlust, but for most it is just a pipe dream that we can satisfy with escapism fiction like Eat Pray Love. For our friend, Betsy, [...]

Brian and I recently visited the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine region for a château tour with a happy newlywed couple. Chateauneuf is renowned for its full-bodied red wines and we tasted many a wonderful red that day during the full-day tour to five different vineyards. One of the highlights of the day was a visit to [...]
