Rhone Alps Wine tasting Holidays

Cotes du Rhone is synonymous with full bodied robust red; in fact, you could almost think that Cotes du Rhone was French for red as 75% of the wine grown in this region is of that hue. From Cote Rotie in the north to famous Chateauneuf du Pape in the south, the 10,000 vineyards found in this region will without doubt tempt you to return to the Rhone Alps. Rhone Alps also boasts exquisite white wines from Chateau Grillet and Condrieu appellations to the famous Viogneir white wine of the north, a most distinctive French wine. The Rhone Alps as a whole produces high quality, high alcohol content wines, a real holiday unwinder. Ask your host to help you find a wine to suit your menu and mood as this is a region for the discerning wine drinker.
