Highlights
  • Carrousel de Menton - As an appetizer, the first stop is about tasting olive oils, vinager and pistacchio cream!

The region of Menton and all of Provence are full of olive trees that are used to make delicious olive oils, which are often infused with different flavors such as lemon, basil or truffle. We will taste some of them as well as the special vinager flavored with the lemon of Menton.

We will also taste the pistachio cream that is currently made in Italy but that will be soon re-introduced in Provence, as it used to be.

A lovely and educational experience - Patricia was a fantastic tour guide! Great personality and full of charisma. The food tour itself was great and her insights on wine were fantastic. I'd definitely recommend if you have the money to spend on an educational experience. It was very expensive for what it was and what we ate and drank but I don't regret it.

Fabulous introduction to the city and its delicacies. Well worth it! - Our guide (Patricia) was amazing. Friendly, fun, knowledgeable and we had a lovely small group of four. We got to experience a wide variety of local dishes and delicacies. The tour was very well planned between vendors, shops, restaurants and the local market. We learnt a lot about Menton and its history. Relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious and we had much more than expected. A fabulous tour that we thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.

A MUST in Menton!! Patricia is phenomenal ! - We have found that doing food and wine tours in different cities around the world is such a great way to learn more about a place not only the history but also the culinary scene and Patricia did not disappoint -she was a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of Menton and the French Riviera and took us through such a thoughtful food and wine tour throughout the city. Her choices were all delicious and food items we would have never known to try on our own. She is personable, energetic and is truly passionate about her job which definitely showed on the tour which made it that much better. I can’t recommend this tour enough, Menton is so charming and the omg the lemon drinks and desserts are just to die for I’m still dreaming of them! My husband and I will definitely be back!

Fantastic - This was fantastic - we enjoyed every part of the tour from the delicious samples, the wine pairings, the views, the facts and Patricia’s delightful company. It was excellent value for money as we tasted a number of different French staples and learnt about the history of the food at the same time as strolling the gorgeous streets of Menton. Absolutely would recommend for friends, couples, individuals looking to explore Menton and it’s staples.

Patricia was a fabulous hostess with the mostest! - We loved this food and wine tour in Menton, Patricia our guide was very knowledgeable about this beautiful town. Each of the places we visited were high quality local products all within close proximity with a short walk between venues. The shops we visited had friendly and knowledgeable hosts, we particularly enjoyed learning about the lemons and truffles. The wine and cheese with a view of the harbour at the venue owned by renowned Michelin chef Mauro Colagreco, was also great! We’d highly recommend a tour with Patricia in Menton or her wine tour in Nice, she’s fun, communicated really clearly in advance of the tour to make sure we had all we needed. We met a lovely family from the US on our trip too, it’s a brilliant way to bring people together over a shared love of delicious food and wine. Thank you Patricia 🩷
