Customer Reviews
Julien is a fantastic Châteauneuf-du-Pape tour guide! My daughter and I took a half-day tour with Julien to two wineries in CDP. One was a smaller family operation with stellar wines, the other an impressive historic "castle". Both locations were delightful with delicious wines. Julien also drove us through the CDP vineyards to see (and roam through) the rolling rock terrain and the ruins of the medieval 14th century castle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Julien grew up in the area, seems to know everyone, and has close connections to the winemakers of the region. Julien is passionate and has a way of connecting with everyone. He speaks English flawlessly and kept us laughing on the drive back. We were also joined on the tour by another couple whose company we enjoyed (we shared a bottle of wine with them in Avignon later that evening). I highly recommend Julien of Avignon Gourmet Tours for a fun, informative, and delicious tour.
Julien made us feel totally comfortable and was an excellent spokesman for the culture, history and culinary experience of Avignon. We totally enjoyed the afternoon spent visiting the various locations and sampling icecream, chocolates, pastries, wine & cheese. He covered our 4 favourite food groups!
MORE THAN JUST EATING FOOD! If you are reading this review, then you are interested in a food tour. All food tours will typically let you taste amazing food but the guide makes a difference. You will not be disappointed in this one. My husband and I agree this is one of the best we have taken because the guide was excellent (and the food was great too). We have been on food tours in six different countries, and this one was by far the most entertaining. The time flew by. Julien takes you to places you would miss if you are not from Avignon-- small, hidden spots with excellent tastings. He knows the stories behind the food, the cafés, the owners, and the city. We did the morning tour, 9 -1 pm. We ended at the Food Hall, which was the highlight for us. We were able to shop and take some excellent meat and cheese back to our Airbnb. Highly recommend. Julien deserves all the five stars. The tour is perfect for first-timers and people who love food tours.
