Hi folks. We are heading to the Provence area next week (nearer Gordes). Wanted to do an afternoon visit to a vineyard in Chateauneuf du Pape, looking for recommendations. Vineyards with pretty grounds, a Chateau-like atmosphere, and a nice friendly (but not overcrowded) vibe. We are not looking to visit the vineyards 'with the absolute best wines' (as we assume those will be crowded), but rather a nice place with very good wines we could ship (but not spend the kids college fund on). Was looking at Château de la Gardine, that looks up-our-alley... any others you can recommend?
MANY thanks! My first post on Rick Steves, but I've been reading them for a long time. Figured it was time to 'get on board'!
