We did not get a tour of the winery because the place was busy with harvesting but still had a wonderful time. David was such a great host and provided us with great stories about the generation of wine making in his family. David was friendly and very hilarious. The red wines were very intense, complex, and probably one of the better reds that I've tasted in the area. This is a must visit when you're wine tasting.

The winery treated our tour group to an excellent wine tasting and education program. The education…read moreincluded an explanation of the wines grown in the region (there are 13 varieties) and the process for picking grapes and producing the wine. The French adhere to their tried and proven approach. Grapes are still hand picked. The education also tried to show how to taste and examine wine for its quality. They provided chocolates to show how eating the chocolates affected the taste of the wine. The winerie has an interesting collection of oak barrels of different sizes used to age the wine. Of course, the tour ended in the wine shop where visitors could purchase their wines and other local products. I recommend anyone in the area visit this winery to tour the winerie and sample their wines.

The smell of the air as you step out of your vehicle reflects all these natural products and is delightful after spending time in the city. The surrounding area is beautiful, and it was close enough to Eygalières to make this a perfect stop before or after lunch. The tasting room is a bit small compared to most of the other wineries I've visited, but it is tastefully furnished. They have a large selection of gourmet food items available, as well as their wine and olive products. The staff here were the best I've encountered at French wineries -- welcoming, knowledgeable, unpretentious. In addition to a wine tasting, we were offered an olive oil tasting. The oils here are divine! Perhaps to locals, this is nothing special, but the olive oil is better than any I've tasted in the US, even compared to French imports. I only wish I'd purchased more, as it appears it will be extremely difficult to obtain outside of France. The wines here were good. They were not my favorite of the wineries I tried, but were solid and I think the prices were very fair in comparison to other wineries.

We arrived on time and were immediately taken into the heart of this historic winery. Apparently it was started by the area leader who also initiated the entire wine region system of France. Chateau neuf de pape is the first recognized region in all of France so the tour took on some meaning for us knowing this. Fortia bottles their own wine, 5 varieties all red and two whites. We saw their historic aging and production areas, the guide gave meaningful information and responded to questions well. The oak casks are fascinating as are the stacks of bottles aging in the cellar. Apparently they build and destroy the vast casks on-site as they are so huge and cost 40k euro a piece! Fascinating. The tasting followed and was as smooth as the wine. We particularly enjoyed the traditional reds, full of flavor from the oak casks. The guide knew the region well and explained the Rhone river valley and it's relation to the winery. We bought a number of bottles, very pleased with the day.

The area has such a rich wine growing history with so many different wine styles to sample. We couldn't believe that Les Caves offers FREE 60-minute wine tastings, and scheduling could not be easier on Les Caves' user-friendly website. We arrived and were greeted by a lovely, knowledgeable woman who enthusiastically guided us downstairs into an intimate, private tasting room. Les Caves has several private tasting rooms, each below ground and designed as mini caves. For an hour our host guided us through six different local wines, each distinctive in style. At the conclusion, we were free to exit Les Caves owing nothing. Of course, we bought a mixed case of fantastic wine that can't be purchased in the U.S. Les Caves was a highlight of our visit to this legendary wine growing region.
