Discover Sarras: ViaRhôna and Wine Country

In Sarras, you’ll find a range of things to explore: a paved section of the Rhône route, private wine tastings at the Caveau, an interactive game, and La colline de Revirand. This lets you choose from the local options according to your interests.

The ViaRhôna through Sarras

The ViaRhôna runs through Sarras along a paved path. This section has no incline and includes many shaded stretches. The surface, elevation profile, and shade are three different points to consider when planning your day. You can explore the section on foot, by bicycle, or on roller skates. These different ways of getting around offer various ways to include the same route in your stay.

The ViaRhôna Gourmande is another route connection. It covers a section from Sablons and Sarras to Tournon-sur-Rhône and Glun. The name therefore refers to a stretch that includes several named places. When looking into routes around Sarras, you can distinguish this connection from information about the course and surface of the ViaRhôna section through Sarras.

Wine tastings and tours at the Caveau

Le Caveau de Sarras offers free private wine tastings. Private tours are available on request. The two offerings differ not only in format: the wine tasting is free, while a tour must be requested. If you’re considering both, you can plan accordingly and submit a request for the tour.

The wine-growing context also contributes to the character of the Caveau: it is located near the vineyards on the right bank of the Rhône, in the Saint-Joseph AOP area. This gives your visit a specific regional connection. For travelers interested in wine, this offers a different perspective on Sarras than the ViaRhôna route or the landscape of Revirand Hill.

From the banks of the Rhône to Revirand Hill

Sarras’s landscape stretches from the banks of the Rhône to the vineyards. La colline de Revirand offers a distinctive connection to both nature and history. The hill features a mosaic of rocks, dry grasslands, and heathland, home to a remarkable variety of flora and fauna. The ruins of an old castle can also be found there. Natural habitats and traces of history come together at this site, though they are distinct themes: the habitats shape the landscape, while the ruins recall the former castle.

For your selection, this means that the banks of the Rhône and the vineyards describe the range of landscapes in Sarras, while Revirand is a clearly identified example of a distinctive hill with diverse habitats and castle ruins. If you’re interested in nature, the focus there is on the rocks, dry grasslands, heathland, and flora and fauna. The historical highlight is the ruins.

An interactive game about the legend of Sarras

The interactive game “La légende de Galaad, roi de Sarras” adds another thematic dimension. The game can be downloaded for free via the Baludik app. It differs from the focus on routes and landscapes, as well as from the wine tastings at the Caveau: the emphasis is on an interactive game whose title refers to the legend of Galaad, King of Sarras. You can also take this distinct connection to Sarras into account when choosing what interests you.

Whether you’re more interested in one of the ways to travel along the ViaRhôna, the regional wine connection, the landscape, or the legend, each theme offers a different focus. When looking for a hotel in Sarras, it helps to first consider which of these sides of the town you’d like to shape your stay.
