About this tour
This planning call helps you build a wine-focused day starting from Avignon, right at the gateway to the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Damien talks through your dates and interests and sketches a realistic plan based on how much time you actually have. You leave with an order that makes sense rather than a long list of villages.
After a short chat about your dates, Damien sketches a plan live and checks it against markets or tastings happening nearby. He answers questions honestly, including when a stop is not worth the detour. A written version of the plan follows by message.
This suits anyone new to the Côtes du Rhône who wants a realistic starting point. It also suits a first visit to Provence more generally.
Included
- A 45-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Avignon: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
