This is a day to fill up your senses! In your private group, you'll set off on a wine adventure with your expert wine guide. Travelling in air-conditioned comfort, we'll take you around the wine region of Côtes de Provence, known world-wide for its famous Rosés, visiting three different award-winning vineyards and tasting around 15 different wines during the day. As well as rosé, you'll enjoy some of the region's fine powerful reds and stylish, aromatic white wines.
After picking you up at your accommodation at 9:30AM, we will travel to visit our first vineyard at a beautiful château that has an amazing history stretching back over two thousand years. We'll spend the morning at this family owned Cru Classé estate, where you'll have a private guided tour of the cellars and discover all about wine-making in Provence. With our special relationships with the owners, we're able to take you behind the scenes and give you a real insight as to what makes the wines here so special and how they are part of the Art de Vivre in Provence.
During our mini-masterclass you'll get chance to learn all about wine tasting and the specificities of the Provence wine region with your guide. In our tutored tasting session you'll pick up tips and tricks to best store, serve and enjoy the wines and on wine and food pairing. As a private group, we can tailor the tasting to suit your interests and level of knowledge. There will also be a few local specialities to enjoy with the wine tasting.
At lunchtime, we'll travel to a nearby Provençal medieval village, where you can enjoy lunch in a super brasserie on the village square and soak up the local atmosphere. (Lunch is not included in the tour price, so please budget around 25 to 30 euros per person including wine). Should you wish to have a more gourmet lunch experience, this can also be arranged.
Following lunch, we'll visit the second vineyard - an estate that over four generations of family ownership has built a reputation for its range of fine wines and as a supporter of local artists. After a cellar visit and a stroll in the vines to learn all about the life-cycle of the vine, we'll enjoy a range of red, white and rosé on the terrace, where you can put into practice your new-found tasting skills. This is bound to be an authentic and exclusive experience.
Last but not least, our final estate will offer a delight for your eyes and your palate. With its beautiful gardens and landscapes, one of the most stunning cellars in the region and exclusive award-winning wines that are all certified organic, this is a magical place that will long remain in your memory.
During the day, there will be plenty of time for photos to help you create your memories in these special places.
Between 5:30-6:00PM, we'll drop you off back at your accommodation at the end of a fun day, full of the sensations of Provence.
