The tour went to Aix en... - The tour went to Aix en Provence for a couple hours to explore and two wineries, where we learned about the wine making process at each and the overall winemaking history of the region. Brice was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and funny. Would definitely book again!

Bravo Brice! - We had a great time on this tour. Aix en Provence is an amazing village. Beautiful shops and great food. Our tour guide, Brice, was super knowledgeable about the area and the wines. He took us to two vineyards. It was a great tasting with a great education on the area wines. We were able to get a lot done in a short time. Would definitely recommend this tour for wine lovers!!!

1000/10 Recommend!! - To start, my group and I showed up at the wrong pick up location, and the Provence Wine Tour organizers were extremely patient and understanding. I called them on the phone and they were able to organization a pickup for us to ensure we didn't miss the tour. Our tour guide was an absolutely incredible. This guy was a certified sommelier, and he knew everything there was to know about wine. I mean, I'm talking grape varieties, terroir, and the region's history. He basically turned us into wine nerds in a matter of hours. What was really interesting was how he clued us into the bigger picture: the impact of climate change on wine production. It was like a wine and climate change crash course. He explained the challenges vineyards face and what they're doing to adapt. Very eye-opening. He was also a walking, talking wine encyclopedia, answering all our questions, no matter how silly they seemed. Plus, he had a great recommendation for a restaurant to hit up for dinner, and the food and wine pairings were spot on. I'd jump at the chance to do it all over again, and you should too. Trust me, this tour is a must do when vising the Provence region, and it'll leave you with great memories and a newfound love and appreciation for wine. Cheers to that! 🍷🥂

Lovely Wine Experience with Excellent Guide in Provence - We really enjoyed this experience! The guide (Eric) was knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and helpful. From a lovely lunch recommendation in Aix-en-Provence to fascinating facts about Marseille, he never failed to go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful and the wine tasting was fun.

Informative and great price! - Looking for things to do in Marseille and this tour caught our eye because of what a great idea it was. The free time allows for your own exploration in Aix. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything from the tastes of the wine, to the fermentation process, to the soil of the region affecting growth and flavor. The price is amazing for including the transportation, tour, and samples! Would definitely recommend.

Customized Vineyard Tour is Excellent - An absolutely wonderful experience with Stephane guiding us through vineyards, lavender fields, and the old town of Aix-En-Provence. He picked us up from the cruise ship docked in Marseille exactly on time. He recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch in Aix (Le bouche à Oreille). It was just the two of us and Stephane, so we took our time and interacted with the vineyard staff and found some nice wines. We were able to control the agenda so we saw exactly what we were interested in.

One of the highlights of my trip - Love this! I made this booking as Im a big fan of rose wine and found this was the best tour that suited me. I was picked up in marseille and went to Aix-en-Provence where I had about 2 hours to explore and the market was on so was able to buy gifts and have a great lunch. The drive to the wineries was quick like 4t mins or less and got to see the process of them making. Only downside I wish I went during the peak season as right now most of the production already happened or woild be happening next month. Steven was amazing and was great for a solo traveller!

Fantastico! - The entire day, guided by Eric, was absolutely lovely! He was informative, warm and well-connected with local winemakers. The first stop in Aix en Provence was a great start to the day. HIGHLY recommend, especially for those wine lovers who are visiting le Sud (the south of France) for the first time. Thank you Eric!
