Cheese and wine tour in the nothern part of cote du rhone

Description

Close to Lyon, here you can explore a world of authenticity and sharing. You will go through Ampuis, a charming village and the birthplace of Côte-Rôtie wine, with the River Rhone on one side and the vineyards on the other. In the village of Condrieu, you will climb (in a minibus) the steep slopes of one of the oldest winemaking areas in France. Little winding roads will take you up to a typical farm in the Pilat Regional Nature Park for an encounter with a goat's cheese maker. This dedicated farmer will show you round his farm (if his work is not too hectic, of course) and will introduce you to the famous Rigotte de Condrieu, a small goat's cheese with a subtle and delicate taste! You can then set off with a few delicious cheeses to taste in a winery next door.

During a quick tour of the vineyards, you can get to know the work of a winemaker, with everything done by hand, from pruning to harvesting. The grapevines grow on steep hillsides with excellent exposure to sunshine and rich and diverse natural conditions. You will really only appreciate all the aromatic richness of these great wines during a tasting. The greatest wines in our region, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint-Joseph, are a real treat for the taste buds!
