The northern part of the Rhone valley is well known for its magnificent hilly countrysides, full of vineyards and one of the finest wines you can find in Cotes du Rhone, such as Côtes-Rôtes, Condrieu, St Joseph, Cornas and Hermitage. We'll be heading toward the south of Lyon following the beautiful shores of the Rhone River and then driving up the hills where you'll be amazed to witness very impressive steep slopes with terraces and vineyards. There we'll meet local winegrowers for a wine tasting. All the producers that I work with, usually family size business, will share their stories and passion about their estate, their wines, and you'll have the time to chat with them! Then, we'll be driving to the legendary Hermitage Hill, and try different wines. Together, we'll try to understand the history of the wines of this area, the origins of the shiraz, the legend of the Hermitage Hill, and the terroir of these wine appellations. Two wine tastings are included in this tour.
