Lovely stop near the end of the day. Excellent views all around the area. Easy walk into town and a wine bar before 7:00 up on top or fabulous restaurant after 7:00. Well worth the stop

Interesting to see. Good views over the countryside towards Mont Ventoux. Not worth going out of your way to see the chateau but if staying close of visiting for wine then pop up the hill.

The ruins of an old castle are so beautiful and shining there alone. The view is so beautiful from there. Beautiful sunset, and the reflection of the loght on the castle is amazing.

The Castle of Chateauneuf-de-Pape is a great historical monument related to the village and Avignon. It’s also offering a nice view above the wineries, the Rhone river and Avignon.

THE location in town, why it all exists. Lovely views, either walk up from town or park after driving up.

The palace is ruins, but still an interesting sight to see, as it has a pretty view overlooking a valley.

Pretty views over country side at these castle ruins.

This was a wonderful tasting! Highly recommend it. Guy was so knowledgeable about wine and really shared some beautiful local wines! The caves were incredible!

Very nice place to have wine tasting or cooking class. Knowledgeable people with the most delicate wine selection from small domains.

We spoiled ourselves by having a private lunch with pairings after our wine tasting. The food was superb. An experience will we never forget. It was absolutely wonderful overlooking the Rhône River and all the wineries.

We had a lovely tasting with Valentine - she was very knowledgeable and recommended some great wines (and restaurants in the area). We will definitely come back next time we visit!

We had a fantastic time doing a wine tasting. So kind, knowledgeable and the wines provided were delicious, varied and interesting. Strong recommend

I highly recommend stopping in for a wine tasting experience with Guy Bremond at Les Caves St. Charles in Chateauneuf-du-pape. Guy is very knowledgeable and presents wonderful wines while providing history on winemaking in the region. Do not miss this if you are in the area. Thank you, Guy!

We had an incredible wine tasting at Les Caves St. Charles on a recent visit to Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The area has such a rich wine growing history with so many different wine styles to sample. We couldn’t believe that Les Caves offers FREE 60-minute wine tastings, and scheduling could not be easier on Les Caves’ user-friendly website. We arrived and were greeted by a lovely, knowledgeable woman who enthusiastically guided us downstairs into an intimate, private tasting room. Les Caves has several private tasting rooms, each below ground and designed as mini caves. For an hour our host guided us through six different local wines, each distinctive in style. At the conclusion, we were free to exit Les Caves owing nothing. Of course, we bought a mixed case of fantastic wine that can’t be purchased in the U.S. Les Caves was a highlight of our visit to this legendary wine growing region.

If you visit Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a stop at La Maisouneta is a must. It’s easily one of the best restaurants we’ve experienced in the Rhône Valley. The wine selection is excellent and reasonably priced. From the appetizers—scallop carpaccio and foie gras, both expertly prepared—to the mains, everything was exceptional. The pan-fried foie gras was a standout. The seafood risotto and pork steak were perfectly balanced, pairing beautifully with the 2016 Domaine de Beaurenard, which offered gamey, earthy notes while still retaining its fruitiness.

Our group of six ladies very much enjoyed our meal at La Maisouneta today. We have been in France for one week and this was our best meal so far. The lamb was particularly delicious! And the service is friendly.

Amazing service, food and atmosphere. Best meal during our trip in the South of France. Must visit if you’re in CDP. Lamb shoulder is a standout, with the most amazing homemade wedges!

I enjoyed my lunch here. We came without a reservation and were accommodated fast. Even though staff didn’t speak too much English they were helpful and patient. Great steak with morel mushroom and the best apricot tartlet ever. Highly recommended. Also they have a bigger list of wines than normal. Worth to check it out.

If you're in Chateauneuf du Pape for one night, make this the restaurant to visit; if you stay for two nights, then enjoy the fantastic food and wine list a second time - lucky you! We had the pleasure of dining here yesterday evening. We started with the tapas for 2; our mains were the Burger maisouneta & the filet de boeuf with a delicious Chateauneuf du Pape 2012 from Domaine du Grand Tinel (thanks for the recommendation). We were then talked into enjoying the Crème Brûlèe with a hint of lemon. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful food. Excellent service!!

Great food, great dessert, very nice wine list, wait staff is attentive, if you seat in the terrace you may enjoy some sun and a nice view.

Great free tasting here. Tried 7 or so different wines which were all great. Didn’t feel any pressure to purchase but we did because we loved the wines so much.

Fun and welcoming staff! We came at the same time as an American tourist group that had booked a wine tasting, and they insisted we joined which we of course did. When we tried to pay afterwards they insisted it was free! Extremely generous, especially since some wines were 100€+ per bottle! The wines were a bit on the high end price wice for us though, even though they were delicious!

Great bike trip through Châteauneuf-du-Pape! Amazing way to see the town. Of course it finished with a lovely tour of ogier and a wine tasting. Don’t hesitate :)

Amazing tasting, they do organized ones but also ad hoc if you just walk in and want to try. Jean was incredible storyteller and told us so much about the wine but also the region and history! Also a big plus is the incredible surroundings of the maison, it’s a beautiful spot with a garden. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend booking the wine tasting and bike tour with Ogier which was an amazing way to explore the Chateauneuf-du-pape region. The bikes were electric and very easy to use even in the summer heat.

We looked forward to a visit and drove some miles and found the door locked 16.45 6/9 2023. After a while a man opened the door and immidiatly went to his computer without a Word. After some time we wanted to speak with and he asked is to waitand then we wanted to taste 2 whitewines and he had only oneof them and brought a red wine instead! It was a disaster! We have tasted wine in France for 40 years, but never seen anythinglike this!.

beautiful wines, great testing experience with the host.

WORTH IT! Good way to spend about an hour learning about the history of CdP and the surrounding areas. Self guided audio tour you can do at your own pace. Tasted 3 or 4 wines afterward. Dominika was an excellent host. She answered all our questions, including what other crus we should visit. They ship to the US and will cover 10% of the tarrifs. My husband and I learned a lot and enjoyed this experience. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience learning more about wine and the region itself. I am always have been a big fan of CdP wines and going here to learn more about the wines was a dream come true. La Fiole was the first bottle of CdP I had and to see it made here…such a great experience. We learnt a lot and tasted great wines. Coraline was super nice and knowledgeable about the wines as well. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Amazing museum and Dominika was so knowledgeable and kind! We loved the wines and the whole experience!

A hidden gem! We had a wonderful hour or so spent here learning more about the history of the region and wine produced here. It is a well laid out museum with interactive elements, and includes samples in your ticket fee, which we did not initially realise but were very much welcome! €8 includes 3 wine samples, €12 includes 5 and I think the max ticket price was €25 including 5 special vintage samples. Really good value and our sommelier Emily was extremely well informed and happy to chat with us! Her English was great too which we really appreciated as non French-speakers. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

We booked online. When we arrived we were told the tour was a self guided audio one. I’m deaf, so asked if there were boards to read instead. Initially I was told there wasn’t much to read as it was all audio. The girl on the desk was most apologetic. After about 10 minutes of my husband relaying the info to me, the girl from the front desk caught up with us and very kindly gave me a rough transcript of the tour info which she had just printed out for me. Having finished the tour we had a nice wine tasting session where we tasted five delicious wines and were chatted through the process by a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. There was no hard sell at all. We bought a bottle of wine and then when we got to the desk to pay they gave us another bottle for free to apologise for the audio guide situation. The staff couldn’t have been more obliging and friendly. It was a great little stop off. The tour and tasting last about 45 minutes and you can book online. I’d highly recommend it.

Wonderful experience. The tour of the museum is very interesting and allows to have a deep insight into their wine production. Dominika guided us through wine tasting, with kindness and sympathy. Absolutely recommended!

Easy access, plenty of parking out front, we were received upon entering and quickly started our self guided tour. This place has some nice wines.

We had a wonderful experience! The staff were super friendly and accommodating, while also providing a knowledgeable wine tasting. 10/10 would recommend!

We were visiting Châteauneuf-du-Pape on the Veraison this year for one night, and had very limited time before wineries would close. I wanted to make sure I visit a place with traditions, character and soul. And Domaine de Beaurenard did not disappoint! From the moment we stepped in and were warmly greeted by Sylvie (who had helped to reserve wine tasting via email a few weeks before), we could see history, passion, culture of winemaking. Sylvie offered us to have a look around and into the aging room, and afterwards had a lovely chat during tasting. It was almost closing time on a big festival day, but she never looked tired or in a rush. Wines were beautiful (thank you for the special one!), I wish I could buy more to fly them home. History of the domaine is impressive and full of passion. The only thing I regret is that we could not get to the village early enough to join the guided tour. Thank you, Sylvie (and special thanks from the kids for the juice ;)). I have a place to visit when I am in Châteauneuf-du-Pape next time!

Very personal, nice wine tasting and great wine, we have learned a lot also about wine production. 13 different grapes in one glas.

We had our best wine tasting experience of Chateauneuf du Pape at Domaine de Beaurenaed! Thanks to Elodie and Sylvie! A free but very immersive experience with physical grapes display of the 13 types of grape of the appellation, to the visit of the aging room, to the immersive tasting.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Domaine de Beaurenard. The estate itself is beautiful and full of history, and the wines are exceptional, showcasing the richness and elegance of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A special thank you to Sylvie, who guided our tasting. She was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about the wines and the domaine’s philosophy. She took the time to explain not just the wines, but also the history, terroir, and biodynamic approach, which made the experience both educational and memorable. I left with a deeper appreciation of the wines and the estate, and I would highly recommend a visit to anyone traveling in the region. Thank you to Sylvie and the Domaine de Beaurenard team for such a warm and unforgettable experience!

Silve is excellent at sharing the uniqueness of this beautiful winery. Domaine De Beaurenard is a one of a kind winery. I highly recommend thw 2016 Red

Beautiful Chateau of the 8th generation family run winery. You can do tours of the winery and tastings. Beaurenard has a very good quality selection of wines to try and buy from here. This is next to the museum which also gets busy, so try and go earlyish otherwise tastings may also be busy which is not as ideal.

We visited with a bigger group where we had a tour and tasting. Our tour had a passion that I’ve never experienced before and could easily describe the production process in a humorous and pedagogical way. Amazing wines and atmosphere. A must-visit if being in the area!

The tour was nice and we got all the information we were looking for, as for the part of the degustation part I can say is very much for rich tourists ready to buy(since they sell only by shipping). Because we were served all.in think, I think 150ml in 3 glasses, for 80e per tour pp... I dont know, 3 slices of bread... felt a bit disrespectful

Returning to Maison Bouachon was an unforgettable experience. This was my third visit, yet it felt just as magical as the first. In October 2023, I had the privilege of filming here with Traveling with Denella — a show that went on to air across the U.S. on NBC and ABC. To walk back into this historic cellar two years later, now with memories of that broadcast reaching audiences around the world, was deeply special. As Vice President of Global Sales for Riverside Luxury Cruises, I often bring our guests to experience private wine tastings here, and every time it’s a highlight of their journey. Our group enjoyed an intimate two-hour tasting — a true immersion into the prestigious wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are exceptional, the atmosphere is steeped in tradition, and the staff makes every tasting feel both exclusive and welcoming. If you’re visiting Provence, don’t miss the chance to experience Maison Bouachon. Whether you’re a casual wine enthusiast or a seasoned collector, this is a place where history, craftsmanship, and passion pour into every glass. Santé 🍷 Michelle Rodríguez

Learned a lot about Chateauneuf-du-Pape and how it's made, as well as how to properly taste wine. Very good wine.

We attended as part of a large group and blessed with a wonderful presentation about wine, history, detailed presentation and wine tasting session which was second to none. Thank you to our host for the education, wine tasting and exploration into your beautiful produce. Highly recommend a trip to here.

Great wine degustation, in an excellent historical setting, picturesque area.

A beautiful winery with a friendly staff. Very welcoming. The tasting was informative and offered very good wines. A great experience.

A very good restaurant. Food is very good, enjoying it oppostite to the valley view is fantastic. Local wines of Chateauneuf du Pape are already good, so a nice spot for food and wine.

We loved this place, the setting, food and service. The appetizers were our favorites, had the shrimp and ceviche. Both had a mix of different textures and flavors. And very fresh, good choice since the weather was very hot. Also their seasonal sangria was tasty. Our server was very friendly and had great wine suggestions.

Didn't eat there but ate nearby. Lunch ends at 2pm but got there at 10 til and stayed after 3. No problem

Excellent lunch at the second restaurant of the Mère Germaine in Chateauneuf. Prices for lunch about half the menu at the fancier place. Beautiful view, great and friendly service, food was excellent.

The starters and desserts were very good. The main (rotisserie) was average and definitely overpriced with 30€ per person. We felt slightly let down by the service. Not that they were not nice and trying but unfortunately need to improve on professionalism. We were asking for the menu, but we somehow misled to a la carte (Not a language barrier as my wife is a native French speaker). Also, the recommended wine was good, but not a perfect pairing.

Good grille Stuffed cochon Gigot d’agneau Small but good wine list

RUDE SERVICE, No capacity to treat guests. I arrived with my wife without a reservation. The restaurante was half full and the terrace completely empty, when we attempt to check on the terrace one guy come very nervous from inside saying no reservation we had to leave, we very kindly asked him if it was possible to have a quick lunch, but he answered back very bad that we had to leave. Just by curiosity I checked online and with was full of availability to make reservation. I made mine and came back to the restaurant. When I attempt to open the door another guy came and block it !!!!! He asked me what I was trying to do, I said I made the reservation. He got very nervous and told me it was not possible that I had to leave. He finally let me In to check on the computer and saw the reservation, he talked to me very bad and said he was not going to give us a table. Very bad moments for us that we arrived with all the expectations. I didn’t make a reservation because we decided this morning to come as it is of season and we been going to lot of Places and not problem at all. Improve your service and be nice to people that come to try your food.

INCREDIBLE! The quality of the food for the price is incredible. My husband and I each enjoyed a 4 course dinner with the wine pairing for each course, which was 62 Euros pp. We certainly would have paid twice that in the US for this experience. We both had the lamb shoulder and it was delicious, especially with the CdP red wine. Starter was a fish pate and an asparagus dish with puff pastry and cream sauce. And the cheese course! Three cheeses we had never had before. Service was excellent. Very efficient. Waiter could speak English too, which was helpful. The restaurant is beautiful too. Casual but elegant at the same time. Highly recommend a reservation. We plan to return for lunch so we can enjoy the magnificent view mentioned by all the reviewers. If you only have a short time in CdP, I'd put this restaurant on your list.

We had the EUR40 dinner menu... it was worth it. I love their entrée of the day and the fish mains. Whilst the cheese dish was great, the pastry that came with it was not as good as the initial starters that were provided at the start of the meal.

Extraordinary luncheon that we will remember for a long time. Highly recommend you order a Kir Royale and enjoy the breathtaking view from the terrace while you peruse the menu. Lunch is a great value. The service and food are excellent. Be sure to reserve in advance. Parking is above the restaurant at the ruins of the chateau. Short, steep walk down the steps to lunch. Hands down our favorite luncheon in Provence.

Wonderful classic food well made leisurely served so one can take in the magnificent views just below the Chateauneuf monument historique. Go

The atmosphere is amazing, with a good view and a specious terrace. The staff are friendly and helpful. And of course, the food is absolutely great! With good local wine and that’s all you would expect.

The food is sooo good! Very high quality! The views and atmosphere were gorgeous. The highlight of our day. We had the menu of the day - foie with lavender salt, tomatoes with a goat cheese ice cream, veal, and lamb. Everything was perfect and service was quick and friendly. Reservations are highly recommended. We came without and were able to snag the last table. Dinner menu included appetizer, entree, and dessert for 34 euros.

Amazing restaurant. Friendly staff and superb food..and then the views! Consider the menu with the accompanying drinks. 4 glasses of wine to accompany your 4 dishes. Bottled water and coffee included. We visited their cave downstairs and sampled more wine and took a few bottles home.

We came here for lunch and ordered the egg with truffle to start off with, then for mains we had the risotto and fish (both with truffle). They recommended a very good local wine which we enjoyed. Although price was a bit high (as it should with truffle), service and experience were very good.

My wife and I spent several days in Châteauneuf-du-Pape to tour our favorite wine region. The wine options are plentiful of course but the food options can be somewhat limited where several restaurants focus on tapas dining. While visiting Les Caves Du Chateau Des Fines Domaines Mousset for a wine tasting, Natalie recommended Truffe and Vin for dinner. Little did we know that we were in for a culinary surprise. Upon arriving for our reservation, we were greeted with a warm welcome and smile. Embarrassingly, our French was poor; but the staff was very kind and patient, able to speak English quite well. The restaurant is new but I cannot state this enough - Truffe and Vin is an absolute must if you are visiting Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is just 0.4 miles from the center of the town; a nine minute walk. The food preparation and presentation is second to none in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wine selection is outstanding as well. Here you are able to enjoy great wine, fantastically prepared food and truffle to accent every dish if you desire. Those that fancy great wine, tend to seek food that pairs well and enhances the the overall experience. Adding truffle to this occasion is sheer gastronomic heaven. Truffe and Vin delivers on this - this is their specialty - delivering a dining delight. The staff and service is the best we experienced while in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. I could go on about everything we ate and gush over how incredible each dish was but that would take some time. I do have to say that the dessert was something right out of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - everything was edible. So; for those touring Châteauneuf-du-Pape and residents of the area as well, I highly encourage you to take the time to visit Truffe and Vin - you will not be disappointed.

Super super kind and friendly staff. Very attentive and engaging. The food was good but too gimmicky for our liking. There was only one more table occupied so it was not the mmost lively of places when we were there.

I am very embarrassed about this restaurant. I almost feel that they decide whether you will be served quality truffles or some fake or garbage ones based on the language used. Ignoring the lack of truffle flavor, the appetizers were ok but nothing special. But when the main course was brought out, I thought either it was a joke or I was a dog. The food looked like it was for a dog and even tasted like it.

What a gem! Sometimes it's not easy to find something for the American pallet in S France, this was outstanding. Easy parking and avoided the chaos at the top of the hill. We were greeted in friendly English, and had an outstanding lunch including an education and chance to try real truffles on the food. Delicious, quiet, and friendly- we'll be back. Don't miss it.

We had a great evening. Great food, excellent wine and Philippe the owner is a really interesting, knowledgeable guy. He's a truffle specialist and we had a mixture of summer and winter truffles on every dish. The wines we had were the best in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, so much so that the next day I went to 1 of the vinyards that Philippe buys from, 1 mile down the road. I bought as much wine as I could fit in my car. Thank you Philippe, chef and staff This is a must go to restaurant!

I don't get why they have good reviews. The chef is below average on French cuisine, not to mention those fake Asian dishes they put on the menu. They suggest to put truffles on all dishes, but majority were meaningless. Tourist trap.

Love the service here. Especially trom Mae. They are friendly and helpful. The beef taatare was fantastic. 300g butcher's cut was enough for 2. The salads were hearty and filling. Kids meal is a jumbo cod fillet.

The food was fine, but I was really disappointed with the wine service. If a wine is recommended, I would expect at least a small tasting before being charged €18 for just 1.25 dcl of a wine I didn’t enjoy at all. I had specifically asked for a mineral wine, but what I received tasted more like a basic house wine.

Lovely place in the town center for decent honest food (nothing amazing but truly fair prices). In high season they could do with another member of staff but everyone did the best to make you feel comfy. Happy to have a bite here again. For parents, no problem to being a child. Very accommodating and giving milk for a bottle, easy for larger groups (8)

We called in for a coffee in the sunshine (and wind) and ended up staying for a lovely long lunch and a couple of glasses of very pleasant white wine. We chose the Menu du Jour and we were not disappointed - it was also great value for money. The staff were brilliant. They were so accommodating and friendly towards us and everyone else. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great - such a buzz and a mixture of tourists and locals. We were so glad we called in and can highly recommend you do too!

Nice simple food, good wine list, excellent service - very friendly. Nice outdoor area

Nice restaurant in the middle of Chataeuneuf-du-Pape to stop by in your winery tours. The Ravioli was really good. We didn’t have wine because we were going around the area wine tasting. The selections were not too expensive and the staff were proficient in English. Added a photo with the menu and prices for the food.

We were a party of around 20 on July 10th, and all of us were blown away by the food quality! We had guests from around the world and they all commented upon leaving that this lunch was one of their highlights in Provence! This restaurant is not to be missed. Highly recommend the fresh fish or lamb! Will be back!
