Wine Tourism in France: Explore the Avignon Wine Route from the Auberge de Cassagne

Wine tourism in France is more than just an activity — it’s a way of life. With its breathtaking vineyard landscapes, the stunning Provence region in the south of France invites you to explore the Avignon Wine Route in all its splendour.

A Must-Visit Destination on the Avignon Wine Route
Avignon, the capital of the Côtes du Rhône, is the only city in France other than Paris to have an AOC (registered designation of origin wines) designation vineyard within its walls. Stretching from Nice to the Camargue, the Provence Wine Route brings together more than 440 wine growers and wine cellar cooperatives, all with a commitment to quality. Sun-drenched paths wind through heritage sites, leading to secluded estates and cosy cellars. Provence offers a wine tourism experience like no other.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the Rocher des Doms

Make the most of your Provençal getaway at the Auberge de Cassagne by taking the scenic route through the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine-growing region. With its vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see and its centuries-old cellars, this historic village invites you to enjoy extraordinary wine tastings.
Continue your journey by visiting the Rocher des Doms. Nestled on the rock overlooking the Palais des Papes, this English-style garden sits 30 metres above the Rhône. Its panoramic views and proximity to famous wine cellars make it an essential stop.
