Between vineyards and heath around Château d'Aiguilhon

Why not discover our beautiful terroir, nestled between vineyards and heath?
This is what the private Aiguilhon wine estate offers you, thanks to the footpaths that surround it.
Stroll among the estate's vines, discover the biodiversity and nature that surround you, as well as an incredible view.
Accessible to most people, with very little elevation gain, you should still wear good shoes to cope with the many pebbles and stones on the path.

Description of the walk

Park at the Domaine d'Aiguilhon.

(S/E) Enter the estate's vineyards, heading south. You will soon reach a T-junction.

(1) Turn right to reach the end of the vineyards, at a corridor bordered by the power line.

(2) Continue along the path that runs alongside the cliff and the estate. Turn right onto the path to continue along the estate. Reach the vineyards to the north-west of the estate.

(3) Walk along the vineyards, then turn left to return to the edge of the cliffs and the unobstructed views. Continue along the path to walk along the plateau and enjoy the breathtaking view.
Be careful here: do not leave the plateau, stay on the path to your right and do not go down the cliff.
Then reach the crossroads of the road that also supports theGR®42.

(4) Turn right onto this road, cross the road leading to the estate and quickly turn right onto the path. Walk along the vineyards and return to the crossroads you passed on the way there.

(1) Turn right and follow the same path as on the way out to return to Château d'Aiguilhon (S/E).

A pleasant little walk through the vineyards and then along the cliffs, where you can admire the landscape, Roquelaure, Château Neuf and Mont Ventoux in the distance.

An easy stroll through the vineyards. Ideal in winter when the sun is shining. We walked along the cliff.

Hello, it's great to suggest this beautiful hike, but between points 42 and 49 of the route, it is possible to continue along the cliff rather than walking alongside the vineyard and reaching this cliff under the power line.

A walk that alternates between beautiful spots (the small plateau facing Roquemaure, Châteauneuf du Pape and Mont Ventoux with the Rhône towards point 4 of the description) and less pleasant areas (under the high-voltage power lines crackling with the noise of the A9 motorway in the background...).
The route is easy to follow and the walk is suitable for children.
The wine estate (Chateau Aiguilhon), despite proudly displaying the "High Environmental Value" label, has used kilometres of black plastic bags in the vineyards, which are now torn and pollute almost the entire route (trees, ground, bushes, etc.).
It's a shame.

A pleasant short walk with beautiful views of the Rhône and the surrounding villages. Done on a Sunday, there were quite a few people on this route.
