A must do in the South of France - We had Laura, she was amazing. We have done tours in France, Spain and Italy and this was by far our favorite. Laura is extremely knowledgable about the wine and clearly enjoys being with everyone and getting to know each person. My husband who normally has 20 questions ready to go each stop, didn't have more than two because Laura talked through each vineyard with such valuable information. We did 3 vineyards and came home with 7 bottles. All fantastic!

A special wine tasting experience - Laura was an exceptional guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. I was traveling solo and was fortunate to be with a great group that really enhanced the experience. The wineries were superb and I felt like I was given an inside look at some of Cote du Provence’s best! If you love wine, go on this tour! 8 hours wasn’t long enough lol. Thank you Laura!

Lovely Côtes de Provence Wine Tour! 10/10 - My partner and I had a wonderful experience on the tour. Our guide Lara was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip entertaining! There were 8 of us on the tour, and the van was big enough to accommodate us all. We visited three vineyards where we tried rosé, red, and white wines, and we purchased bottles from the first two (if you choose to ship wine home, be aware that it is best to wait till cooler months to not risk the wine being ruined by the heat). Côtes de Provence was absolutely stunning with so much history, and Lara does a great job educating the group about the entire wine making process! Overall a stunning and delicious wine tour!
