Aix-en-Provence Half Day Wine Tour with Picnic & Pétanque
Description
This is much more than a regular "touristy" wine tour. We'll start the day by a drive through the most beautiful (and still unexplored by mass tourisme) wines valley around Sainte Victoire massif. I'll bring you to a nice, authentic vineyard where I'll explain you the wine production process and of course you'll try the delicious wines from the property: 1 white, 1 red and 3 totally different rosés to learn more about this most famous wine from Provence ! Then, we'll have some fun playing pétanque and having a local picnic under the shade of plane trees on the main square in a little, quiet village off the beaten path. After that, you'll have your free time to have a walk through wines fields or explore the tiny alleys in the village, have a coffee or ice-creams... If you prefer, instead of our pétanque-picnic, I can prepare for your group an intimate picnic in the nature or another winery visit. Ready to unwind during this unic experience?

Tom was the absolute best tour guide we could have imagined. My friend and I spent one day doing the wine and picnic tour, and the next day with Tom doing Gorges du Verdon and lavender fields and we had the most spectacular experience. Tom is so funny, and kind, and takes amazing photos. You can tell he truly loves what he does and we didn’t want our time to end. 100% will recommend to anyone I know visiting the area!!
Hannah, Jacky...Thank you for this review, the one on Google as well...Thank you for your trust and what can I say..For me it was an amazing time too during these 2 days ! Looking forward for your pictures and videos ! I am sure we will meet once again ! Take care, hugs !!! Tom - Happy Day in Provence
This was the most amazing experience with Tom!!! He is soo much fun and taught us about the surrounding areas, stopped at the best photo places and packed the best picnic. I could not recommend this tour more and Tom as the best guide!!
Merci beaucoup for your review ! I am really happy you enjoyed ! It's always a real pleasure to have some feed back and all these stars.... !! :) Take care !
Tom was a very amenable host and accommodated our special requests as we had restricted time. We went to a vineyard and a wine cooperative and tried lots of delicious wines, learning lots about how they were made and the culture of family wine-making. Although our picnic was rained off (which is really unusual!), Tom took us on a little drive and showed us a cool artists mansion and then dropped us at the hotel with our picnics and wine to take away! Despite the rain we all had a great time! Would highly recommend Tom. Great local knowledge, excellent English and more than helpful.
Ohhhh really thank you for your review ! 🙏🙏 I remember the day finished with a big, unusual rain, but I m glad you had a general good experience !! ❤️👌🙏

A great day exploring the area east of Aix en Provence, under Saint Victoire mountain. We had a diverse set of activities including a vineyard walk, winery visit and tasting, snacks along with a fun games of pelanque, lunch, and a visit to a basilica in St. Maximin. Tom was our driver and guide and shared so much information throughout the day. What a memorable day we had!
Theresa and Kevin, I'm really happy you liked the day especially after the numerous visits and trips you did before this one :) Thank you !
Tom did a great job staying in touch and showing us how the locals live! He recommended some amazing restaurants while on the tour and in Aix. Would def recommend.
Thank you very much! Happy to hear that!
What a great tour. Tom was an amazing guide, vivacious and knowledgeable. He has and easy going personality and makes you feel welcome and at ease. We tasted great wines, had a nice lunch and walked through some small villages off the beaten track, which adds to the authentic flavor of the experience. It feels more like a semi private tour, due to the individualized attention to a small group ( maximum of 6 people). Highly recommended.
