Provence day trip: walking in Gigondas vineyards - Easy
Guided day trip in Gigondas
This Provence walking day tour starts in the village of Gigondas, one of the most famous wine-making villages in Provence. It is a charming small medieval village, with a labyrinth of tiny streets leading up to the church.
Starting from the village square in Gigondas, your guide will lead you up farming tracks, through the gnarled vines of Grenache and Syrah, and to the imposing limestone cliffs that rise vertically behind the village: the famous ciseled Dentelles de Montmirail cliffs.
After a "provençal" picnic, we make our way back to Gigondas where we partake in some tasting of its renowned red wines (depending on opening days).
