Southern Rhône wine travel guide

In the southern Rhône Valley everything revolves around Grenache and blends. Well-known names are Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with the large pebbles in its vineyards, Gigondas, Cairanne and the wines of Mont Ventoux. Avignon, with the Palace of the Popes and a good number of wine bars, is a good base. Combine winery visits with the lavender fields and olive groves in the area.
