AVIGNON ESSENTIALS: A Food and Wine First Taste

About this activity

Looking for the ultimate first taste of Avignon’s food & wine?

In just 3 hours, plunge into the heart of the historic City of the Popes through its iconic landmarks and picturesque hidden streets.

Along the way, wake up your taste buds with 10 delicious, handpicked tastings: rich estate olive oils, creamy artisan cheeses, crunchy local nougat, fragrant lavender honey, and delicate sun-kissed sweets.

The grand finale?

A generous, authentic sit-down regional lunch featuring a savory traditional dish, salad, fresh crusty bread, and a glass of local wine in a charming bistro.

This tour is led by Zahra, a passionate native guide recommended by Rick Steves (2026 updates).
