Discover the Unique Terroirs of the Northern Rhône Valley

Immerse yourself in the world of wine and cuisine in the Northern Rhône valley. Amidst the dramatic landscape of near-vertical granite slopes rising sharply from the riverbanks, this exclusive 8-day itinerary offers an uncompromising deep dive into the region’s most iconic AOC's of Beaujolais, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, and Hermitage designed especially for passionate wine enthusiasts.

Led by Michelle Vaughters, a WSET Level 3 certified wine educator, this journey bridges the gap between casual tasting and true masterclass immersion. You will decipher the complex micro-climatology, soil profiles, and winemaking philosophies that separate a village wine from a legendary single-vineyard bottling.
