The appellations and discovery itineraries through the vineyards

Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Ventoux, Côtes du Luberon, 3 wines of the south of France – three appellations which cover the growing areas in Vaucluse. The vineyards grow on a wide range of terroirs, in highly varying soils and climates which produce rich and varied wines. The Rhone Valley stretches from Avignon to the northern Rhone vineyards, passing at the foot of Châteauneuf du Pape and the slopes on the Dentelles de Montmirail.;

 

 

Majestic Mont Ventoux stands guard over the vineyards whose appellation is named after the famous mountain.

The Luberon offers the very poetry of its hills and light to its appellation. The touring itineraries through the vineyards and the vintner walking paths lead to in-depth discovery of a land, the men, the landscapes and the villages. A great way to visit Vaucluse.
