The Vallée du Rhône vineyard in France has a very long history and an exceptional production rate. When the Romans arrived, they nurtured their vines, creating wines for their enemies to enjoy. These wines are some of the best in the world with a rich tradition dating back to antiquity.

The heterogeneous topography of the Massif Central, the Alps and the Rhone River, which used to be covered by the Mediterranean Sea, is what gives Provence its special character. This privileged location creates a region with many reliefs and a great diversity of soils (granite, siliceous, calcareous and clay).

Points of interest on the Private Full Day Vineyard Tour in Cotes du Rhone

The tour will begin at your hotel or place in Lyon. We will take you to a selection of the region’s best vineyards for an educational exploration of grapes and winemaking techniques.

You will be able to see the ancient Roman theater belonging to a fascinating historical era, about which your tour guide will provide you with all the information at hand.

We will discover two vineyards: Ampuis and Vallée du Rhône.

Ampuis Vineyard

The Ampuis vineyard in Lyon is one of the oldest vineyards in France. It is also one of the most famous. This is due to a number of reasons.

The first reason is that it was founded by a priest who was looking for a way to make wine without using grapes. He found an ancient recipe and started making wine from apples. This became very popular because it was cheaper than other types of wine and had much more flavor than wines made from grapes.

There are other reasons why this vineyard is famous, but those two are the main ones.

Vallée du Rhône

What is the Rhone Valley in Lyon famous for?

The Rhone Valley is a wine-growing region stretching some 400 miles from the French Alps to the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most famous and popular regions of France. The valley is home to many vineyards and wineries, including the world-famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The region has been producing wine since Roman times, but its fame really began in the Middle Ages, when it was one of France’s leading wine producers.

It is known for its red wines, especially those made from Syrah grapes. Wine production has been an important part of Lyon’s economy since Roman times, but it was not until the Middle Ages that the wines became widely known outside the region. Lyon is a major center for trade fairs and conferences.
