Team Building Wine Tasting Itinerary: Day Two

  • After breakfast, your chauffeur and guide will return and accompany you throughout the day on a tour of the local vineyards.
  • You will firstly be welcomed as the guests of a family-run winery, situated at the foot of the Ventoux mountains. Following a full tour of the estate, seeing first-hand the fascinating wine-making process from vine to bottle, an extensive tasting session will ensue. A picnic lunch will have been prepared for you here and this can be enjoyed in a picturesque spot in the Château’s grounds.
  • The afternoon will be spent having a tour of the vineyards, estate and cellars of a second wine-maker, whose historical Château dates back to the 9th century. Your visit will conclude with tastings of the domaine’s Côtes du Ventoux wines.
  • You will be taken back to the Château at the end of the day for some time to freshen up.

Team Building Wine Tasting Itinerary: Day Three

  • After a leisurely breakfast and check out, your chauffeur and guide will accompany you on a final day of activities.
  • You will firstly be welcomed as the guests of a premium Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine-maker, who will lead a fascinating vineyard workshop. He will then take you on a tour of his estate before a delicious, home-made lunch is served in the opulent dining room. Your meal will be washed down with tastings of six of the estate’s award-winning wines.
  • After lunch, you will be taken to Avignon, where you will have some free time to explore the city independently. We will provide you with entry tickets to the famed Palais des Papes. The palace is one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe and was once the papal residence and the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th  century.
  • We will also provide you with tickets to visit the Pont d’Avignon, an authentic medieval bridge, with picturesque views of the Rhône River. The bridge was the inspiration for the song Sur le Pont d’Avignon and is considered a landmark of the city. In 1995, the surviving arches of the bridge, together with the Palais des Papes were classified as a World Heritage Site.
  • At the end of the day, you will be taken back to Marseille airport in time for your return flight.

The guide price of £1100 per person is based on 20 people sharing twin rooms and includes return flights to Marseille, 2 nights’ accommodation with breakfast at Château de Mazan, a chauffeured coach and a specialist guide for 3 days, tours and tastings at 3 wineries, a private cruise to the Marseille calanques, entry to the Palais des Papes and the Pont d’Avignon, 3 lunches and 2 dinners with drinks.
