Romans and Wine – Nimes, France

EXPERIENCE

Go back in time to the 1st century AD by visiting two wonders of the Ancient World : The famous aqueduct, Pont du Gard and one of the most beautiful Roman Theatre, in Orange, the only one in Europe to have preserved its stage wall intact.
The acoustic is so great that it has been used since 1971 for a world famous summer Opera Festival called les Chorégies.

You will also enjoy a wine tasting in the legendary Chateauneuf du Pape.
Enrich your knowledge of wine production, grape varieties and have a great time learning how to taste wine professionally.

Provence enjoys over 300 days of sunshine and the soil of the south of the Rhône valley is very rocky and sandy. The nutriments the grapes found in those different soils, coupled with the sunny and hot climate give low yield exceptional wines with a great potential of aging.
