We met our tour guide near Old Port in Marseille and took off in a sprinter van to our first winery. Our tour guide started the drive with information about the city, region, and wine making process. We visited 3 wineries total with time in Aix en Provence for lunch. We cannot say enough good things about our guide who was so knowledgeable and kind. He truly made this an amazing experience and our favorite part of our trip so far. He even gave us recommendations for where to eat/visit in Marseille/Paris. Merci Frenchie!
Thank you so much Sydney for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour and had such a great experience with your guide. It’s always our goal to share our passion for Provence, its wines, its food and its beautiful landscapes, so your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again soon, as there is still so much more to discover in Provence! Cheers!
Our guide, Jean Gabrielle was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. It was a captivating wine tour through three organic vineyards of Aux-en-Province. We learned about the history, wine making techniques and tasted local wines. I would say that to make the tour more enjoyable would be to have a charcuterie board with one of the wine tastings. However we were able to visit Aix-en-Province where we had a tasty lunch.
Thank you so much Jossea for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with your guide on one of our wine tours— that’s exactly what we aim for! We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime — there’s always more to taste and explore in Provence! Cheers!
