Below Mt Ventoux and the spectacular Dentelles de Montmirail we explore the diverse wineries and countryside of this region. From the historic town of Vaison la Romaine we walk the lower slopes of the Dentelles to Seguret and Gigondas. Through pine forests and olive groves we continue to Beaumes de Venise, famous for its sweet fortified muscat wines. We taste rich, full-bodied reds in Châteauneuf du Pape, and walk through cherry, peach and almond orchards to Avignon. Here we have a full day to discover this city of Popes, and perhaps even dance on the bridge...
