My husband and I had an incredible experience and it made for a spectacular birthday present for him thanks to Guy and his wonderful team - David our wine host who made us feel at home and taught us so much about wine appreciation, and our fantastic chef who cooked up a beautiful feast! Everything made for a wonderful day - amazing food, amazing view, amazing service and company. David, please come and visit us Down Under (but maybe skip Tamworth this time!)

CHÂTEAU DE LA GARDINE is a family business including 8 members representing 3 generations aiming to the future. One works there together in respect of the terroir, of the family values passed down from each generation to the following, consistently delivering excellence.

I visited Chateau de la Gardine with my family of 6 adults and 2 small children. We arrived about half an hour before closing time. Florence made us very welcome and took us on a tour outside, showing us the various vines and soil types. Inside we tasted delicious wines and had all our questions answered. When my daughter needed to breastfeed her baby, she was taken to a private area and made very comfortable. All in all an outstanding experience.

We booked a tasting at Vignobles Mayard as there were 13 of us on a visit from the Var region. The tasting hostess was friendly and welcoming and spoke excellent English (I subsequently discovered she is Dutch, but multi-lingual with it). We tasted six different red wines, ranging in price from just E12 to well over E30 per bottle, all of them extremely palatable. Having done many wine-tasting trips in the south of France, this was our first foray into Chateauneuf du Pape and it was considerably different from other regions, as well-explained by the hostess, who seemed to know her product very well. It was interesting to learn of the process, to be given some tips on how to taste properly, and what type of taste/smell we should be looking for. All in all a really excellent experience.

We visited just this past week and had a great time on the vineyard. This place had been recommended by a friend who had been there before and recommended doing a tasting there. Our guide Claire took us through the grounds, and walked us into the cellar and explain their techniques and different areas, and then talked with us through the tasting, explaining the different years and vintages. She was very personable and very open to our questions, as we are beginners in terms of wine. We would definitely go back next time we are in the Provence area.

When I walked in I was not sure where I should pick up some wine from this region. But the sommelier JonCarlo gave me very detail intro no less than the wine museum, which enlightened me a lot about the sophistication and complexity of Chateauneuf du Pape wine along the tasting. I’d highly recommend to stop by here and learn about the most prestigious in the region, Beaucastle. That’s likely where you’d wrap up your wine shopping.
