A superb half day trip to two vinyards. I was concerned that this seemed expensive for what I suspected would be a hard-sell of mediocre wine. I could not have been more wrong. Our guide, Alex, was extremely knowledgeable and the nine wines we tasted across the two locations were varied and good quality. I particularly liked the Terre de Mistral Red and returned a couple of days later with the car to buy a case. No one tried to push any wines which made the whole afternoon relaxing and fun.
Fun time and not over crowded vineyards, experienced and knowledgable guide and a fun group. No pressure to buy wine which was appreciated.
We had a great time visiting two wineries. Inés was great!!! The wines were outstanding and we even bought a case.
My son and I were in a nice van with six others. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour included observing part of the procedure of the wine making and bottling process, which was interesting. The wine tastings were ample and very good! The scenery was beautiful and we both enjoyed the half day tour immensely. 👍🏻👍🏻
My husband and I had the most wonderful time on this tour. The views from the vineyard were absolutely breathtaking and provided a truly stunning setting. The tour was incredibly smooth and easy; the whole operation flowed perfectly from one spot to the next. Our tour guide was the highlight—she was funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the day so much more enjoyable. She did a fantastic job and we highly recommend this tour for a memorable, seamless, and overall spectacular day!
My sister and I really loved our wine tasting experience. Our guide, Camille, was very knowledgeable, kind, and open to all our questions. She was able to schedule tastings at such excellent vineyards. We would 100% recommend this tour.
Great half day tour. 2 wineries: 1. Mas de Cadenet is a family winery, our host Marie was very nice and explained everything to the group, with a smile! 2. Chateau de la Galinière: good wine but the host did not like her job and it showed..... Overall great day in Provence countryside and delicious wines
Very informative tour. Our tour guide (Camille) was great and did an impressive job explaining the region, history and the wines.
A fantastic tour with a dedicated and lovely guide! We appreciated the tour very much! Good wines nice surroundings and nice company during the tour!
Our host, Alex, was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the history of the area, wine production and specifics of each wine we tasted. A little humor added to an overall great, fun day!
