E. Guigal — Winery in Ampuis

Ampuis is the heart of the Côte-Rôtie appellation, a place where wine has been made for 2,400 years. Guigal's vineyards cling to incredibly steep slopes above the river, with gradients of 20 to 40%, all worked by hand. That sight alone is worth the detour. Discovery: a tasting of four to five wines from the Collection range, with a guided introduction to the appellations. Condrieu & Côte-Rôtie: three emblematic appellations, including the white Condrieu from Viognier and the red Côte-Rôtie. La Trilogie: Guigal's three iconic single-vineyard Côte-Rôties, La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne, plus two other top wines; the most special tasting on offer. Cellar tour + tasting: a dive into the cellars to discover how the estates are managed day to day, and the know-how and values behind them. Vineyard walk: through Guigal's vineyards to learn about the life cycle of the vine and the production methods specific to the region.
