  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    At their best, the reds are dark and powerful, the (rarer) whites intensely fruity.

  • 2. Bandol

    The home of the mourvèdre grape produces fine and vigorous reds.

  • 3. Beaumes de Venise

    France’s richest fortified dessert wine, made from the muscat grape.

  • 4. Côtes-de-Provence

    Famed for rosés, but now also producing classy reds and heady whites.

  • 5. Gigondas

    Sometimes known as “son of Châteauneuf-duPape” but the full-bodied wines definitely stand out on their own.

  • 6. Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence

    Fast improving red and rosé wines.

  • 7. Cassis

    Fresh, dry whites – particularly good served with Provençale fish dishes.

  • 8. Côtes du Ventoux

    The reds, especially, can be very rewarding – although rosés are great for summer picnics.

  • 9. Côtes du Luberon

    Another hugely improved group of wines, not least due to investment from fashionable outsiders.

  • 10. Côtes-du-Rhône Villages

    In theory, one step up from ordinary Côtes-du-Rhône, but they can be several steps up in practice – especially if the name of the village (such as Cairanne) is mentioned on the label.
