An unforgettable, fun evening learning about the wines of, and the history of winemaking in, the region. Our gracious hosts prepared delicious dishes to pair with the selected wines, which were all outstanding. Try to book this experience early in your visit to Aix-en-Provence to take advantage of the host’s excellent restaurant and site seeing recommendations.
I know quite a bit about wine, But didnt know much about the wines of Aix/Provence. It was good to taste the Rose & understand what it has to offer . I found a very nice white which was to my taste. After the tutored wine tasting , we went to another establishment - also well known for its cheese & wine tastings , where we could choose a glass of wine to our taste . This was accompanied by a sharing cheese & meat platter.It was a very pleasant evening. I would highly recommend this tour
I had two tours with Ben, and both were a fantastic educational and fun experiences. For the wine tour, I was the only guest so Ben and I went to a couple of restaurants with wine and cheese. Ben also educated me on the culinary history of Aix and Provence, including Cassis. Ben’s family came from the area, so he has an insider’s view that he pairs with delightful humor and charisma (plus some dad jokes haha)! For the walking tour the next morning, Ben shared his historical knowledge of Aix from the dinosaurs through the Roman period and finally more recent history during the WWII period. Overall, Ben is a warm host and great guide. 10/10 recommend!
Guide very interesting and friendly. Highlight was wine tasting at wine shop where employee of shop was very knowledgeable about wine in the area - probably could have arranged that on our own. We received three tastings there - rouge, blanc and rose. After that guide took us to bar for a snack and glass of wine - no real discussion of wine, mostly about travel.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your guide’s company and especially the tasting at the wine shop — they really do a wonderful job showcasing local wines. We’re sorry to hear the second part of the tour didn’t feel as engaging as you expected. Our goal is always to strike the right balance between enjoying the atmosphere and learning more about the wines, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We’d love the chance to welcome you again and provide a deeper dive into the region’s wines and traditions.
This was a fantastic tour filled with Rose. I highly recommend this tour. We were a group of 3 on a girls trip and it was the perfect way to start our time in the area We did this tour the first night we were there and it was really helpful for orientating us to the city. Benjamin was a friendly guide who knew a lot about the area since he is born and raised locally!
Thank you, Evelina! It was such a fun way to kick off your girls trip — I’m so glad the tour helped you get your bearings (with a bit of rosé along the way!). Hope the rest of your time in Aix was just as great!
Benjamin is quite knowledgeable about this area. He figured out that I loved dogs when I stopped to pet every dog I saw, so he pointed out the Patron Saint of animals. He took me to some of the best local wine shops. Tasted some amazing rosé wines and enjoyed yummy food. He started the tour with the local aperitif called Pastis. All in all, a wonderful tour. Benjamin is a fantastic tour guide.
Thank you, Allison! I had a great time showing you around — and loved your enthusiasm for the local dogs! I'm so glad you enjoyed the wine, food, and a little Pastis to kick things off. Hope to see you back in Aix one day!
Benjamin was a great guide and provided an incredible introduction to Aix. In addition to the wonderfully arranged tastings, he infused interesting facts about the city, its history, and culture which made it an even more compelling afternoon. Most importantly, he was fun and engaging and ensured everyone had a wonderful time on the tour.
Lee, you were the best! Take care now!
We took two tours with Benjamin: Time Flies... and Discovering Rose Wine... This was our second week-long trip to Aix en Provence and it was Benjamin who opened our eyes to the depth and beauty of this magical city. Benjamin provides a perspective that is unique, informative, and fun. Most importantly Benjamin is genuine. Merci beaucoup, Benjamin. We wish you great success! Paula and Tom, Boston, Massachusetts
