What you can expect

  • A guided hiking tour through an exceptional vineyard

    Explore the prestigious hillsides of Côte-Rôtie or Condrieu on an immersive hiking tour through one of the oldest vineyards in France. To begin with, you'll set off on foot to discover spectacular landscapes, steep terraces and a thousand-year-old winemaking history.

    The trail winds through the vineyards, supported by dry-stone walls, remnants of the winemakers' ancestral expertise. These steep, sun-drenched hillsides produce some of the most renowned wines of the Rhône Valley. At each stop, your guide will share his knowledge of the grape varieties, local viticultural practices and the legends of the region.

    A sensory and cultural experience

    The ascent, suitable for people in good physical condition, offers numerous vantage points: the Rhône stretching out below, the surrounding hills and the vineyards as far as the eye can see. Regular breaks allow you to soak up the scenery, chat with the guide and observe the surroundings. It is not uncommon to come across winemakers in the midst of their work, adding an authentic touch to this immersive experience.

    At the summit, a highlight of the experience: a tasting of local wines with a breathtaking panorama as a backdrop. This natural and peaceful setting becomes the backdrop for a sensory discovery where each glass tells the storey of the terroir.

    A gentle drop-off

    The descent is gentle, punctuated by yet more different vantage points over the hillsides and the Rhône Valley. Depending on the season and availability, the hiking tour can be extended with a visit to a wine cellar to discover the secrets of how these great wines are made.

    Perfect for lovers of wine, nature and heritage, this guided hiking tour offers a rare respite, combining moderate exertion with sensory pleasure. A unique and lively way to discover the lands of Côte-Rôtie or Condrieu.
