We had a fantastic day on our Provence wine tour. Eric was an interesting and very knowledgeable guide. We’ve done many wine tours and even still learned new things from Eric. The two wineries were lovely and offered some delicious and interesting wines for us to enjoy. We also met 3 other friendly wine enthusiasts who helped to make our day special. We would highly recommend this tour and Eric as your guide.
We tasted some wonderful wines. Our guide was very informative about the wineries and also led the wine tasting.
Really good experience visiting 2 wineries and beautiful scenery of St. Victoire mountain. Tasting organic wines was totally amazing to learn differences from the wine we drink usually.
We are glad you enjoyed your wine experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you again in Provence! There are so many other beutiful places to discover!
We had an amazing time viewing the two vineyards. Bryce was a fantastic host and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The tour had a 'behind the scenes' feel to it and was different to the traditional wine tastings in this way. A great day out!
Thank you so much Tom for your feedback! It was a great pleasure to host you. And we are so happy you have enjoyed your time with us. See you soon again in Provence.
