Highly recommend! - This is a great tour if you want to see the gorgeous countryside. Our guide took us northeast of Aix en Provence to two wineries. One old, one new. We learned so much about how the grapes are grown, harvested and aged. Our guide Loris was so knowledgeable about the history of the region. He was lovely and answered many questions. I would highly recommend.

Brilliant day - We had the most amazing time with Igal. It was a very easy to arrange tour, we just had to turn up and we were given a brilliant morning of excellent wines and great coaching from a mentor who clearly knows his wine expertly and made us feel very welcome. Well worth the price and an easy way to visit some expert vineyards in Provence

Lovely morning tasting wines in Provence - This was a lovely small group tour to two wineries and tastings near Aix-en-Provence. Our driver/guide was Stephane. He was very friendly. I was impressed how he remembered each participant's name and actively engaged each of us in conversation. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the subject matter - definitely provided a value-added contribution. We recommend this half-day activity in Provence.

Very informative, and fun. - This was a great wine tour. Only 8 plus our guide - Igal was very experienced and knowledgeable. We learned a lot, not only about local wines but in context to the rest of France, Europe and the world. Very efficient 3 hours, tasted 9 wines, at 2 lovely wineries. Definitely recommend this, comprative to other tours we have experienced this was amongst the best.

Half day with the incredibly knowledgeable host Eric and good wines tasted - We joined a small group of 6 others on the half day tour from Aix to two Provence wineries and return. Our guide Eric was incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating, spending a good amount of time explaining the process from grape to bottling. Really interesting behind the scenes tour of the first winery. We tasted six wines at each winery, two of each colour. Albeit not an expert, it was clear the wines themselves varied in quality. Some - in particular the white wines - were not to our taste. From memory they ranged from €8 to €16 a bottle. I’ve been on wine tours before where you’re able to taste premium and exclusive / limited edition wines but it was not the case here as both wineries we visited were commercialised rosé producers. At €85 per person it did seem quite expensive for the quality of wine tasted. Overall, nice half day out with a good group of people and 10/10 fantastic host Eric.
