In 1994, Stéphane ROBERT created the Domaine du Tunnel. It begins with 2.5 ha of vines on the right bank of the Rhône, in the Ardèche in the Cornas, Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph appellations. The cellar is in the city center of Saint-Péray.

In 2013, the estate expanded its range with an additional AOC: Condrieu.

In 2014, Stéphane rehabilitated a tunnel in Saint-Péray at a place called “Barras” to set up a wine-making and aging cellar. At the start of the 20th century, this 170m long freestone tunnel was crossed by a steam train linking Valence to Vernoux en Vivarais. ”The cellar overlooks the Rhône valley with a breathtaking view of the Château de Crussol.

To date, the vineyard extends over 11 hectares, in the municipalities of Saint-Péray, Cornas, Glun, Mauves, Tournon sur Rhône and Chavanay.

The cuvées are vinified mainly from old vines on hillsides or terraces, on granite soils.

The grape varieties are Syrah (Cornas and Saint-Joseph), Marsanne and Roussanne (Saint-Péray) and Viognier (Condrieu)
