Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a wine-growing village in Vaucluse, surrounded by vine-covered hills in the Rhône Valley. Its name is associated with a renowned appellation, and the landscape alternates between rows of vines, wine estates and open countryside. In the village, the château ruins recall the history of the Avignon popes. The region suits travellers who enjoy wine tasting, walks among the vineyards and heritage visits rather than large urban centres.

The Château de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, whose ruins overlook the village, is 1.8 km away. The Musée du Vin, 1.2 km away, explores the local history of viticulture. Several wine estates welcome visitors to discover the appellation's wines; Château de la Nerthe is 710 m away. Avignon, 10 km away, offers the Palace of the Popes, the Pont Saint-Bénézet and an old town suited to a day's sightseeing. For regional travel, the stations at Bédarrides and Courthézon serve the surrounding area; a car makes it easier to explore the villages and wine estates.

The grape harvest, generally held in late summer and early autumn, lends the vineyard landscape a distinctive atmosphere. In spring, the paths between the plots let you enjoy milder temperatures and open views across the valley. A day can combine a visit to the village, a wine estate and an excursion to Avignon. In summer, plan outdoor visits for the morning or late afternoon, then take a break by the pool. Wine lovers will also find plenty to explore among the neighbouring Rhône appellations.
