Vaucluse: visit a wine estate
Vaucluse, land of festivals and heritage
Lying at the meeting point of the Rhône and the Durance, Vaucluse is the Rhône Valley Vineyards’ largest wine-growing department, both in terms of production volume and area under vine. The wines of the Côtes du Rhône, Luberon and Ventoux positively thrive in these fertile lands, stretching from the Rhône plains to the majestic Mont Ventoux and the Luberon mountains.
Avignon, famous for the Palais des Papes, the famous bridge featured in the children’s song and its historic performing arts festival, is also the capital of the Côtes du Rhône, and houses the Rhône Valley Wine School. It is, without question, the perfect spot from which to start your tour of the surrounding vineyards.
Flavours and terroirs
From glass to plate
Local wines pair beautifully with local foods. That means Mediterranean and Provençal flavours in the south, and the taste of Ardèche and Lyon in the north. Countless culinary combinations to make your taste-buds sparkle!
Where to stay
Rooms with a view
Do you dream of waking up the sound of cicadas, or opening your eyes to views of vines as far as the eye can see? Then you’re in the right place. Choose bed and breakfast accommodation, or a vineyard gîte that’s just right for your needs. Or maybe you’d prefer something in the countryside, or in town? Our partners can help.
