All the pink wine

Obviously, we don't need much guidance in finding the pink wine.

But, we thought you can't come to Provence and not learn a little more about what you're drinking.

So about 9pm one night we found ourselves trying to book a wine tour for the following morning.

Last minute booking?  No problem.  Viator was happy to accommodate us.

Because the larger tour was already fully booked, we ended up with our very own private tour.

So, we hopped in a little car and were buzzing around Provence with our lovely guide.

 "On this private wine tour from Avignon, admire the beauty of Provence

as you travel to the famous wine villages of Tavel and Chateauneuf-du-Pape for wine tastings.

Sip signature rosé wines and red wines — reputed to be the favorite of French kings and popes — 

while learning about winemaking in southern France’s stunning Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

At the end of your wine tour, you’ll take a panoramic tour of Avignon,

passing the medieval city walls and seeing the famous Pont Saint-Bénézet (Saint-Bénézet bridge)."

That is exactly what we did. 

We absolutely enjoyed the wine and the company.

But, these views simply took our breath away.

I think each of us had a pinch me moment looking out across the vineyards

and scenery straight out of a travel brochure.  It was magical and the

sweet buzz wasn't just from the wine.

If you are ever in Provence, you just can't miss the views

from the ruins of the medieval castle at Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

 

"The wild movement of the grenache vine battered in the Mistral"

 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is known for this asymmetrical bottle designed for a competition in the 50s.

Such an easy, breezy holiday.

If you hear about a pink wine shortage in France, we know nothing.

How do you feel about rosé?
