A Curated Wine Journey

Explore a selection of carefully chosen Provençal wineries, from traditional family-run estates to contemporary vineyards where wine and art come together.

Discover the diversity of Provence's wines, from elegant and delicate rosés to aromatic white wines and expressive, full-bodied reds. Each estate is selected for its quality, authenticity, character, and distinctive approach to winemaking.

Depending on your preferences, your visits may include historic wine estates, modern wineries, or vineyards where contemporary art and wine create a unique cultural experience.

Throughout the day, enjoy private tastings and discover the stories behind the estates, their terroirs, grape varieties, and winemaking traditions.

Lunch is tailored to your preferences and the rhythm of your day. Choose between a refined gastronomic restaurant, for an elegant culinary experience featuring seasonal and regional produce, or a charming Provençal bistro, offering a more relaxed atmosphere and authentic local flavours.

Villages, Landscapes & the Art of Living

In the afternoon, leave the vineyards behind for a scenic drive through the peaceful landscapes of the Var.

Travel through rolling vineyards and olive groves, winding country roads, and picturesque Provençal villages. Depending on the itinerary and your interests, there may be time to stroll through a medieval village, discover a local market or artisan shop, admire historic architecture, or simply enjoy a coffee on a village square.

The afternoon can also include a third wine tasting, allowing you to discover another estate or explore a different style of Provençal wine, according to your wishes and the pace of the day.

Good to know

Questions guests ask before booking

Where do we start, and at what time?

We pick you up at your hotel, villa or the cruise terminal. Departure is usually between 8:30 and 9:30 - earlier to beat the crowds, later if you are on holiday and it is holiday time.

How is lunch handled?

We book the table, you choose the register: a gastronomic restaurant, a Provençal bistro, or a farm table. Lunch is not included in the tour price so that you keep the choice. Dietary requirements are never a problem - tell us in advance.

What language will the tour be in?

English or French by default. Spanish, Arabic and Berber are also possible - Fouad speaks all five.

Can we combine this with another tour over two days?

Often the best plan. The second day is quoted at a reduced rate.

What happens if the weather turns?

The day shifts without losing its character. We only cancel for genuinely unsafe mountain or sea conditions, and then we reschedule or refund.

How and when do we pay?

You receive a written proposal with a firm price for your group. No deposit is required to hold a date more than a week out. Payment on the day, by card or in cash.
