Wines and Chocolate Northern Rhone Valley - Full Day

The Northern Rhône Valley is renowned for its exceptional wines. But did you know that an equally exceptional chocolate is produced at the foot of the Hermitage hills? I am of course talking about Valrhona! Since 1922, Valrhona's taste artisans have imagined the best chocolate for your greatest pleasure.

In the morning: Departing from Lyon, you will head south towards the prestigious vineyards of Côte-Rôtie. During a walk in the vineyards, you will discover why this wine is exceptional. You will immediately be seduced by the view of the Rhone Valley and the steep slopes of this vineyard. A tasting of 5 to 6 wines, including Saint-Joseph, Condrieu and of course Côte-Rôtie, will allow you to start the day in style. All with a few squares of chocolate. You will appreciate the floral aromas of Viognier as well as the fruity and silky taste of Syrah on their terroir of origin.

Afternoon: You will then take the road towards the south towards the legendary Hermitage wine. Grown on the left bank of the Rhône on a very specific terroir and in a warm climate, you will discover a wine with aromas of red fruits and flowers. You will first visit the Valrhona chocolate city where you will discover all the secrets of chocolate making. A magical experience where you can explore, smell and taste chocolate! You can then taste in a local domain, 5 to 6 wines from the Rhône Valley including Hermitage, Crozes Hermitage, Cornas.
