Nine lucky couples will spend a week on this invitation-only, luxury excursion through the rivers and canals of southern France. We'll enjoy private tours of remarkable small wineries, gourmet meals, fabulous wines, spectacular scenery, and stimulating conversation and camaraderie.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the renowned centerpiece of the southern Rhone region. Our custom itinerary will take us from Avignon through the Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Tavel and Lirac, down the Rhone River and the Petit Rhone into the Eastern Languedoc's special Costieres de Nimes appellation. We'll meet with the wine makers, vineyard owners, and chefs of the region for our private view of this extraordinary part of the wine world. This trip does not attempt to hit all of the big name wineries rated in wine journals. Instead, it is designed for those with a discriminating palate and an interest in experiencing something more unique - a connection of the wines to those who make them, and a road (or waterway) less travelled.
