Saint-Joseph wine trail, detours through the vineyards
The northern Côtes du Rhône wine region has a strong identity and a remarkable landscape characterised by steep hillsides. It is a land of great wines, renowned throughout the world. Building on this wine-growing asset, the Rhône Crussol Community of Communes and the Arche Agglo Urban Community have joined forces with professionals from the Côtes du Rhône appellation to develop a tourism promotion project.
