Fun tour - Greeted by a very friendly tour guide Eric, explained what was going to happen. Our lavender field experience was great ending in a tour of a winery. I have got to save nothing was a bother, even dropping us off at another finishing place. I would highly recommend this it was great fun.

Unforgettable Sidecar Adventure to Château Bonisson! 🌍🏍️ - Our sidecar adventure to Château Bonisson was hands down the highlight of our trip! The thrill of cruising through the stunning Provençal countryside in a sidecar was an experience like no other.🎢
Château Bonisson was the perfect destination, offering a mix of small-batch organic wines and a contemporary art gallery that really enhanced our visit.
The real star of the day was our guide, Kevin. It's clear he has a strong connection with the vineyard, which made our experience all the more enjoyable. His knowledge and enthusiasm added a special touch to the trip, making it feel personalised and relaxed.
If you're looking for a unique way to explore Provence, I can't recommend this sidecar adventure enough. 🍇🏞️

amazing side car tour - this trip was the best thing we did on our trip. our guides kevin and eric were personable and knowledgable. to see the lavender fields and get a wine tasting was amazing and the ride in the sidecar was so so memorable! it was not clear from the description that both fields and wine were offered so it was a welcome surprise! the guides took photos but not sure where they went. this was WELL worth the price.

We had a great time. We... - We had a great time. We were picked up and driven around the countryside of Provence which was beautiful. Most of our time was spent at Chateau Bonisson which is a privately owned vineyard and art gallery with delicious wines to try! We would have not found it otherwise. Very fun experience

Incredible experience!!! - A truly incredible experience! Such a fun and unique way to see the Aix countryside – the views of the lavender fields, sunflowers and vineyards were spectacular. The tour of the lavender family farm and the wine tasting at the vineyard were such fun experiences off the beaten path. Eric was wonderful and very personable and very informative as well. Overall, an exceptional experience that I’ll remember forever!

EVERYONE SHOULD BOOK THIS ACTIVITY - 100% book this activity!!! Kevin was SPECTACULAR. We were only in Aix for a couple of days but knew we wanted to do a fun wine tasting activity and this was absolutely perfect. The side cars were such a fun way to explore more of Provence and the two wineries were EXQUISITE. Kevin (one of the owners) is incredibly friendly, fun, personable, and kind and made our trip incredibly memorable.
You HAVE to book this tour!

Don’t miss this tour! -
Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide’s name was Eric and he is the owner of this tour company. They pick you up in a vintage motorcycle and side car. Each vehicle can fit two passengers (one on the back and one in the sidecar) and one guide. Our tour included two stops, one to a beautiful lavender field and one to a small-family owned vineyard that had an impressive modern art gallery on-site. From the tour operator to each stop, everything seemed to be locally and family owned. I feel like the focus on smaller businesses allowed us to get a more personalized experience and more authentic experience in the area. Also, riding on the motorcycle and sidecar was an absolute blast. There was approx. a 20min drive between stops. Enjoy!
