Hike in the vineyards of Arras/RhôneSandrine DEFOUR, tour guide, will walk you through the terraced vineyards, typical of Saint Joseph. This vineyard, essentially installed on narrow terraces mainly granite on steep slopes, exposed south / south east, is planted on the eastern edge of the Massif Central.
The saint-joseph, a very strong and rich local history to discover absolutely: a must of Porte de DrômArdèche.

Hike in the vineyards of Arras/RhôneSandrine takes you on steep (hillside) and south-facing paths: remember to take good shoes for walking, a stick, a water bottle, a hat and sun cream. All routes are different depending on the starting point chosen.
You need to be in good physical shape but the activity is accessible from 8/10 years old. And what a reward at the arrival! goat cheese, honey, jams, fruit juices… and the saint-joseph of a local winemaker. The tasting at the arrival can be done either in the vineyards or at the winegrower’s.
After this beautiful hike (5/6 km) where you can admire splendid landscapes on the Rhone, it is time to discover another pleasure: the tasting!
