Frequently asked questions
Can I cancel my wine tasting booking?
It depends on the experience: some include free cancellation while others are non-refundable. The cancellation conditions are clearly stated on each listing before you book.
Is there a minimum age for wine tasting?
Wine tastings are reserved for guests aged 18 and over, as alcohol cannot be served to minors. Some oenology experiences can be adapted with grape juice if you're attending with younger participants.
Are wine tastings suitable for beginners?
Yes. Many experiences are designed as introductions, led by a sommelier or an oenologist who guides you step by step through the tasting method, the vocabulary and the main aromas. No prior knowledge is needed, and more advanced courses are available if you want to go further.
Can I offer a wine tasting as a gift?
Yes. Every wine tasting can be bought as a gift voucher, sent by email in 2 minutes. The recipient then chooses the date that suits them directly with the provider. It is an ideal gift for a wine lover or for someone who wants to discover oenology.
What types of wine tasting can I book?
Formats vary from one experience to another: beginner initiations, full oenology courses, food and wine or wine and cheese pairing workshops, themed tastings and visits to wine estates. Each listing details the format, the wines tasted and the level required.
How long does a wine tasting last?
Most tastings and oenology workshops last between 1 and 2 hours, while more complete courses can take half a day or a full day. The exact duration is shown on each listing.

The 5 best places for a wine tasting in Avignon
Avignon is famous for its bridge, but also for the prestigious vineyards of the Rhône Valley that surround it. If you are passing through the region, don't miss the chance to enjoy a good glass of wine: Funbooker has listed the best places for you.
Le Vin devant Soi
At Le Vin devant Soi, tasting is above all about sharing. Every month, this shop specialising in wines and spirits invites local producers to share their love of wine during an oenology workshop.
Each winemaker presents their full range during a convivial tasting, followed by a buffet and the shop's famous raffle, with a bottle to take home as the prize.
- Address: 1 Rue Saint-Agricol, 84000 Avignon
Clos du Calvaire
Clos du Calvaire is a family estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape whose vineyard is entirely organic and committed to agroecology. Each cuvée is made to preserve the authenticity of traditional grape varieties and the excellence of the appellation's terroirs.
Vineyard tours run all year round, showing you the winemakers' practices, the underground cellar and the vinification cellar. A tasting is also on offer, with a view over the village of Châteauneuf.
- Address: 1973 Route de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 84700 Sorgues
Château de l'Escarvaillac
Around ten kilometres from Avignon, head to the agricultural estate of the Chartreuse de Bonpas, built in the 14th century. It produces not only AOC Côtes-du-Rhône wine, but also pear and grape juice, and even olives.
Every day, the Peiro Vivo association runs several guided tours that bring the history of the site to life and reveal the secrets of the estate, including its cellar and its old oak barrels.
Inter Rhône, L'École des Vins
Inter Rhône's École des Vins runs tasting workshops every month to deepen your knowledge of the Rhône Valley vineyards and meet regional producers. Classes are open to everyone and suited to all levels.
From introductions to tasting to food and wine pairings, grape varieties and appellations, each theme is covered in an educational and friendly way, at the Carré du Palais or the Maison des Vins.
- Address: Palais des Papes, 1 Place du Palais, 84000 Avignon
Vinotage
Vinotage is the story of three professionals who dreamed of sharing their love of wine in an offbeat, original way. Their project became a unique concept: a wine barge.
Join one of their tastings during a cruise on the Rhône. A genuine wine bar on the water, it offers indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy a drink with friends and relax.
