In the centre of the village you’ll find the
Caveau du Gigondas, where you can taste
and buy many Gigondas wines. They also
run workshops and events including food and
wine pairings in the village square or in local
vineyards.
Head to the wine bar Le Nez! for tapas with
a large choice of local wines to pair them
with on a lovely shady terrace or inside the
elegantly decorated bar (1 Place du Rouvis).
The vendange is a great way to exercise the
body and free the mind. With vineyards that
have beautiful backdrops, magnificent views,
the mellow autumn sun, surrounded by the
rich and ravishing colourful fall foliage, plus
meeting welcoming winemakers, what’s not
to love?
Wine events take place in Vaucluse year-round
from festivals galore and tours of the cellars
and vineyards including at sunset, picnics and
tastings of spectacular wines, guided vineyard
walks and talks and harvest visits. If you would
like to visit the region during the vendange,
September and October are usually the best
time to go.
