Very interesting and informative wine tour. The time went by really quickly but we weren't rushed at any of the wineries. We went to lunch where the tour guide took us. It wasn't a choice in the matter, but the food was good and very reasonable. No time to look around the little town. But it was better to have more time in the wineries anyway. Would recommend this, especially if you love wines. You can have them shipped back home.
I had such a wonderful day exploring the French Provence wine region. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the vineyards were stunning, and the wine tastings were fantastic. It was the perfect combination of great wine, beautiful surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere. A fantastic experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beauty and flavours of Provence! 🍷🇫🇷
We had a fantastic wine tasting day and would highly recommend it. Stephan was a brilliant host—knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate about wine, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The wineries we visited were all excellent, each offering a fantastic selection of wines with generous tasting portions. There was a great balance between learning about the winemaking process and the technical aspects, while still having plenty of opportunities to sample the wines. The air-conditioned minibus was a welcome comfort, especially in the summer heat, and the small group size made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.

Charming walk in Provence and wine tasting in three vineyards. One of the three was highly rated. But the other two were unknown.
Cher Claude, merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous faire un retour sur votre journée. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience avec nous. Concernant les vignobles, sachez qu'il en existe 3500 environ en Côtes de Provence. Nous les sélectionnons avec soin pour la qualité de leur vin et de leur accueil, la notorité ne faisant pas toujours la qualité du vin et/ou de l'accueil! Nous aimons justement faire découvrir à nos clients notre passion pour le vin à des domaines dont nous apprécions le vin et qui sont hors des sentiers battus! Si toutefois vous rechercher des domaines spécifiques, n'hésitez pas la prochaine fois à réserver un tour privé et nous nous adapterons alors totalement à vos envies. A très bientôt en Provence!

This was hands down one of the best things we have done on our Honeymoon. Lara was an absolutely phenomenal guide, so so fun and equally knowledgeable about wine. There were only 8 in our group, the maximum number able to be in a group. We fit perfectly in a lux comfortable van - it was the perfect small wine tour group. The restaurant we had lunch at was delicious and reasonably priced (this is optional if you’d like to find your own restaurant). We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is wanting to taste LOTS of yummy wine, with a fantastic guide. Thank you Lara!!
