マルセイユからのエクス アン プロヴァンス周辺のワインとチーズの終日ツアー

A very nice day spending time in the wine region of Provence. The first stop was a very small farm setting, family run. While interesting I may have spent a bit less time here to allow for more time in the town of Aux Provence itself. A bit more guidance on what to do and see, where to eat etc in Aux Provence would be helpful. However, our guide Eric was exceptional in his knowledge of the wine, the area and had an engaging personality we thoroughly enjoyed the day and he was a large reason why. The last stop was really a spectacular view and enabled us to go into the fields and see a full scale operating winery. Very worthwhile. We would highly recommend the tour. In particular for those not that knowledgeable in wine making.

This was one of the great tours of this type that we have done. The four of us were joined by a delightful young couple from London and our guide Eric met us as arranged in Marseille. Eric is simply a star. His English is first class and idiomatic but he delivers it with an exotic French accent which is a joy to listen to. He was a fund of information about the areas we travelled through and he even pointed out to us the district where Zinedine Zidane grew up. Then Eric reached zenith point in my esteem when he said that as a teenager he had even played in games against the young Zizu! Wow. Our weather was horrible but this didn’t matter. Our visit to the first winery and cheese makers was fascinating and the cheese and wines were lovely. We bought some. Then lunch in a rain lashed Aix was great fun and good value. In the afternoon Eric picked us up again for our second winery where we again were entertainingly informed about processes and production. Into a comfortable tasting salon where we sampled wines under Eric’s careful yet humorous guidance. Six wines. All different. No pressure was placed on us to buy but we simply had to grab a couple of bottles despite adding substantially to our suitcase weights for our journey home. Thanks Eric for a wonderful day. If we could award six stars we would.

Absolutely wonderful. We stayed at the intercontinental marseille and the pickup was right in front of the hotel. Amazing guide, wonderful wine and cheese, and Aix was so far my most favorite French town of them all. Perfect way to make a stay in Marseille also include Provence and Aix and wine tasting and cheese.

Fantastic tour with Eric - learned loads and tasted some excellent wines. Highly recommended - particularly as you get free time in Aix as well.

Erik was amazing! I highly recommended this tour if you’re looking to wine taste and have the time to explore on your own. Best of both worlds! Erik was super knowledgeable and went above and beyond for the group.

Just a 40-minute drive from Marseille, a phenomenal experience awaited. I learned so much about winemaking processes, goat cheese varieties, along with local art and culture tips. Thanks to our host, Eric, who was terrific with every detail.

Wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable in the field. The guide also told us a lot about the landscape and villages we went through. The goat cheese was wonderfully good along with the local wine. Highly recommended.

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time on our winery and goat cheese farm tour with Provence Wine Tours! Our guide Eric was super informative with the history of Marseille along with Provence and shared a bunch of knowledge of wine from the region. Plus the wine and cheese we got to try were fantastic. Can't recommend a trip with them enough!

Our driver, Eric, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. We learned quite a bit about wine in Provence, and enjoyed both the wine and cheese immensely.

Driver, Eric, was great. Very accommodating. Limited wine and cheese, more should be offered. The second stop didn’t have cheese at all and kept us secluded to one area of the restaurant even though no other patrons were there.
