Why Ventoux will become one of the great appellations of the Southern Rhône
Le Ventoux, a land of the future? Emmanuel Perrin
Boasting the coolest climate in the south of the Rhône Valley and preserved landscapes, the Ventoux vineyard is popular. In recent years, the establishment of ambitious winegrowers and the rise of white wines have been the talk of the town.
In the Ventoux appellation, in just 4 years, the production of white wines has increased by more than a third of its initial volumes. And more than 12% of this 5,500 hectare vineyard is already planted with white grape varieties. It must be said that the combination of limestone terroir and cool climate favors the production of a color that many vineyards in the southern zone envy in Ventoux. “Benefiting from this freshness and such thermal amplitudes, due to the proximity of Mont Ventoux, allows us to have more sparkling whites and with better acidity. In addition, our ampelographic richness, with the Grenache Blanc, Clairette but also Roussanne, Viognier, Vermentino, Bourboulenc, etc. grape varieties, constitutes a formidable toolbox for creating wide ranges in a territory that lends itself to it,” explains Frédéric. Chaudière, winemaker at Château Pesquié and president of the AOC Ventoux.
Ever wondered why wine connoisseurs whisper the name "Wachau Valley" with reverence? Let's uncork the truth about this Austrian gem.
Nestled along the Danube River, the Wachau Valley is not just another picturesque European locale; it's a viticultural legacy. Despite its acclaim, some still hold onto outdated notions that the region is inaccessible or exclusively for the elite oenophile. Let's clarify a few things.
Firstly, the idea that Wachau's wines are only for the well-versed is as misleading as a corked Riesling. Yes, the wines here are exceptional, but they're crafted for everyone to appreciate. The vintners are passionate educators, eager to share their knowledge with visitors of all levels of wine expertise.
Secondly, the perception that a trip to Wachau is complicated or requires intricate planning is far from reality. As a travel agent specializing in luxury small group travel and river cruises, I can attest to the seamless experience that awaits. A river cruise through the Wachau Valley offers an intimate, relaxed journey through rolling vineyards and medieval towns, with the convenience of unpacking just once.
Lastly, let's address the myth that Wachau is solely about the wine. While the Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are undoubtedly stars, the region's cultural landscape is rich with monasteries, castles, and markets, offering a full-bodied experience beyond the vine.
If you're looking to explore the Wachau Valley, whether it's on a river cruise or a small ship ocean cruise that docks nearby, the key is to embrace the journey with an open mind and palate.

Terrific to have our CEO, Olivia Barrie representing the Mornington Peninsula at the Wine Communicators of Australia Inc 2024 Wine Growth Summit in Adelaide on Wednesday, alongside regional leaders - Barossa Australia's Ben Patten and McLaren Vale Grape, Wine & Tourism Association's CEO, Erin Leggat with wine tourism legend, Robin Shaw leading the topic.
A few Destination Marketing take aways:
- Know your customer, don't try to please everyone and remain true to the region's brand and value proposition.
- Visitors choose just 2-3 wineries to visit in a day (used to be 5!), one being a lunch destination. You want to be on their list. Develop relevant, engaging and memorable experiences linked to a well presented brand.
- Collaborate with like minded businesses for a powerful, saleable offer which encourages over night stays.
- Regional tourism websites are a visitor's first port of call, make sure your presence and offer are current, prominent and high quality.

🍷 Our Brisbane team catch-up at Sirromet Winery was just what we needed!
Our 6-month in-person meetup was a perfect blend of strategy and celebration. We spent the morning brainstorming and aligning on our goals, and the afternoon catching up and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. ✨
It’s been a fantastic quarter with some big wins for our business and our amazing clients, and we're more motivated than ever as we gear up for the end of the year. Exciting things are on the horizon! 🚀
