Charming walk in Provence and wine tasting in three vineyards. One of the three was highly rated. But the other two were unknown.
Cher Claude, merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous faire un retour sur votre journée. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience avec nous. Concernant les vignobles, sachez qu'il en existe 3500 environ en Côtes de Provence. Nous les sélectionnons avec soin pour la qualité de leur vin et de leur accueil, la notorité ne faisant pas toujours la qualité du vin et/ou de l'accueil! Nous aimons justement faire découvrir à nos clients notre passion pour le vin à des domaines dont nous apprécions le vin et qui sont hors des sentiers battus! Si toutefois vous rechercher des domaines spécifiques, n'hésitez pas la prochaine fois à réserver un tour privé et nous nous adapterons alors totalement à vos envies. A très bientôt en Provence!

This was hands down one of the best things we have done on our Honeymoon. Lara was an absolutely phenomenal guide, so so fun and equally knowledgeable about wine. There were only 8 in our group, the maximum number able to be in a group. We fit perfectly in a lux comfortable van - it was the perfect small wine tour group. The restaurant we had lunch at was delicious and reasonably priced (this is optional if you’d like to find your own restaurant). We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is wanting to taste LOTS of yummy wine, with a fantastic guide. Thank you Lara!!

From the time of booking, they were very meticulous. On the first day I booked, it didn't run, but they introduced me to other dates and answered my questions quickly. I’ve been on so many tours, but I’ve never had such a warm reception. The tour itself was perfect. Three wineries offer a variety of wines with different characteristics. It should make your trip to Provence fun. We encourage you to participate.
