Tour Overview
Do you like cheese and wine pairings? You will discover the fabulous white and red wines of the Northern Rhône Valley made with the fruity Viognier and the peppery Syrah grape varieties along with another local speciality, which is certainly worth the trip for people who love "food & wine" pairing: the Rigotte de Condieu, a goat cheese with a subtle and lovely fragrant taste!
To reach the goat cheese farm you will drive through the legendary land of Côte-Rôtie and and the Pilat Natural Regional Park, not far from Lyon, but where you'll discover an area of authenticity where the locals take pride in sharing their produce.
After climbing the steep hills (aboard the minibus, of course !) of one of the oldest French vineyards, we will stop in a typical farm of the Pilat Park, where you will have the chance to meet a cheese producer and learn about the cheese fabrication. You'll of course get to see the goats close up and even pat them if you wish before leaving the farm with some delicious cheese, which you will pair with 5 different local wines of a winery nearby.
Your taste buds will remember the taste of the Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph (best wines of our area and the wonderful local cheese for quite a while!
