Itinerary
Meet your english-speaking wine expert guide at 9am in front of our meeting point (centrally located close to the "Cours Mirabeau") in Aix en Provence. Your guide will drive you in a comfortable & A/C minivan accommodating up to 8 people maximum. Visit 2 wineries in the morning, get about 1h30 free time to lunch in the pretty provençal village of Lourmarin, and then visit a 3rd winery in the afternoon. Taste some reds full of character & finess, aromatic or gastronomic rosés and lively whites (about 13 different wines in total). We take you behind the scenes: From the winemaking & aging rooms to the bottling lines, you will see everything! Your guide will explain you about the soil, the climate, the grape varieties, the famous "terroir" but also the picking, pruning, green harvesting and many other subjects in a relaxed and educational way. You will be back to Aix en Provence around 4.30pm to the same place where we met at the beginning of the tour.

We had the best time on this wine tour! Pick up and drop off was very easy, and close by to where we were staying. Stephan was an amazing guide and was so knowledgably about wine, and all of the places we visited. I think the price, and hours of the tour were great, and it filled up the day, but still left plenty of time in the afternoon to walk around Aix, and have dinner afterwards. The van was roomy for our group of 3 plus a solo traveler, but could see how a fully booked tour may be a little tight. Each winery we visited was different from the next and offered up something unique. The town we had lunch in was very charming, but wish we had a little longer to walk around, (but that was our fault for having a bit of a longer lunch). There is also a option to ship back wine to the states which we did take advantage of, but warning it can add up quick with shipping, insurance, and fees. But overall this tour was a highlight of out trip and I could not recommended it more!

We enjoyed our wine day with Stefan and a group of 7 people from Massachusetts, Virginia, Canada and New Jersey. We visited 3 Chateaus each one excellent and charming. The wines red, white and rose were all dry and tasty. Stefan educated our group about each of the wines sampled. It was a wonderful day!

The perfect way to spend a day. Our guide was fantastic- a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and cool person. We visited 3 fantastic places- views and wine all amazing. The lunch stop was perfect. If we had more time in the area, I would have booked another tour! They also will allow you to pick wines as you go and ship them for you (in multiples of 6), so we look forward to having cases of wine coming our way soon!

We had a fantastic tour with Stephan. He has a huge amount of knowledge about the wines and background to wine making. We learned a lot. We visited three amazing vineyards and tasted 17 delicious wines. We also had the chance to explore and have lunch in beautiful Lourmarin. This was our second tour with him and we will certainly be back again the next time we visit Aix.

Long distance travel planning can be a bit nerve-racking, but Léa helped us from start to finish. Then when we arrived in Aix to meet Loris, everything fell beautifully into place. Loris is a professional with an enthusiasm for wine, food, & the artisan work of wine makers and olive oil makers. He also has a tremendous sense of humor and kindness. He indulged our nonsense, as a group (we’re a bunch of jokers), and let us linger to chat and enjoy the entire experience. I could not more wholeheartedly endorse & encourage people to work with Provence Wine Tours. And if you can pick someone to guide you, ask for Loris! He’s so charming & lovely! Thank you Léa & Loris! 💗
