Explore one of the world's most renowned wine regions—Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This exclusive masterclass will take you on a journey through the history, soil diversity, and winemaking traditions of this exceptional Rhone Valley appellation.

With roots dating back to pre-Roman times and a legacy shaped by Pope Clement V’s relocation of the papacy to Avignon in 1309, Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a rich heritage and exceptional wines. While celebrated for its bold reds, the region also produces a rare and exquisite white wine that accounts for only 5% of its production.
