Get ready for Hospice du Rhône - Rhône River! Reserve your spot onboard starting June 17th. Join us for a five-day cruise aboard an Avalon Waterways 128-passenger vessel, journeying from the Northern to the Southern Rhône Valley in France. Embarking from Lyon with stops in Vienne, Tournon/Tain-l'Hermitage, Viviers, and Arles, and concluding on land in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the event will feature classic Hospice du Rhône experiences: educational master classes, focus tastings, food and wine pairings, and above all - “Serious Fun.” The event will exclusively feature Rhône Valley wines, with a hyper-focused spotlight on appellations and producers from the regions visited throughout the cruise. The event itinerary, including featured producers and personalities, will be announced soon! (fb)

#RhôneReading: “My grandfather was my inspiration for Horsepower,” says owner Christophe Baron. “Like all the vignerons back in those days, there were no tractors. Until 1956, my grandfather farmed only with draft horses.” Bionic Wines (fb)
