Northern Rhone Wine Tour – Full day

Embark on a full-day private wine tour through the breathtaking Northern Rhône Valley, where world-renowned Syrah and Viognier wines are crafted on dramatic hillside vineyards. This experience takes you on a journey from the steep, terraced slopes of Côte-Rôtie and Condrieu in the morning to the rolling landscapes of Hermitage and Saint-Joseph in the afternoon, offering a deep dive into the terroir, history, and winemaking traditions that define this legendary region.

Morning – Côte-Rôtie & Condrieu

Your day begins in the northernmost appellations of the Rhône Valley, where the vineyards cling to steep granite slopes overlooking the river. In Côte-Rôtie, discover the magic behind some of the finest Syrah wines in the world, known for their elegance, depth, and signature smoky notes. Just south, the white wines of Condrieu, made exclusively from Viognier, offer an aromatic and expressive contrast. Visit a local winery, explore the vineyards, and enjoy a guided tasting of these exceptional wines while learning about the unique cultivation techniques required to farm these challenging yet rewarding hillsides.

Afternoon – Hermitage & Saint-Joseph

After a scenic drive further south, arrive in the Hermitage and Saint-Joseph wine regions, where the Rhône widens, and the vineyards take on a new character. Here, Syrah thrives alongside Marsanne and Roussanne, producing structured reds and refined whites. Walk among the vineyards, hear about the region’s rich winemaking heritage, and visit another local winery for a second tasting experience, where you’ll compare the differences in style between the northern and southern parts of the valley.

Throughout the day, enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Rhône Valley, from terraced vineyards to rolling hills, and get a true sense of the diversity of this historic winemaking region.
