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. This has resulted in the creation of five discovery trails for the Cornas, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Saint Joseph and Saint Péray AOCs.
