Rhône Valley

France’s Rhône Valley is known for its robust red wines, made in different styles in the northern and southern ends of the Rhone Valley region.

The Rhône River runs some 500 miles from its source in the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean. Near Vienne, where the river turns from its westward progression and drops south, the Rhône’s storied winemaking areas begin. The region stretches for 150 miles, with vineyards clinging to the slopes above the river, toward the ancient town of Avignon in the south of France.
