Rhône Valley Vineyards Tour with Ooh Provence

Traversing the landscape of southeastern France, the Rhône valley unfolds as a wine lover’s dream come to life. Ooh Provence invites adventurers to a focused two-day journey through the famed vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the lower Rhône valley wine appellation. This isn’t just a passive tasting—it’s an intimate immersion into an area where earth, climate, and human dedication converge to craft some of the world’s most revered wines.

Located within reach of Marseille, this tour offers a private, curated experience. Each day, guests visit three distinct vineyards, meeting winemakers who reveal the artistry and rigor behind their vintages. The Rhône’s terroir, marked by its gravelly, stony soils famously known as “galets roulés,” plays a pivotal role here, promoting deep vine roots that impart structure and complexity to the wines. From these unique geological foundations come bold reds emblematic of the region—Grenache-dominant blends with vibrant spice and intense fruit.

Between tastings, the day pauses for lunch in village bistros that emphasize regional flavors, balanced with carefully paired local wines. This integration of gastronomy and viticulture deepens the connection to Provence’s lifestyle traditions. Transport throughout is handled seamlessly by a private driver-guide, enabling travelers to fully savor the day without distraction.

What sets Ooh Provence apart is its devotion to small group sizes (maximum six) and a hands-on approach to winemaking culture. Participants gain thoughtful insights about cellar techniques and sustainability efforts that respect the land’s legacy while crafting future vintages.

Ultimately, this two-day refinement of vineyard visits offers an active appreciation of one of France’s profound wine regions. Through private access, expert narration, and authentic cuisine, Ooh Provence creates a vantage into the Rhône Valley as a dynamic outdoor experience—where cultural heritage, geology, and sensory adventure intersect.
