Great day - Really a great way to spend a day. We left at 9am, back by 4:30pm or so. We saw three wineries, had 4-6 samples at each and got to see some beautiful countryside. Got lunch at a cute little village. Really thought it was a pretty good value especially if you want to get out of the city for a day!

We seriously loved this tour! - What a fabulous tour! We had 7 people total - a very nice size. Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent. He shared history and knowledge about Provence and wines all throughout the tour. I was very impressed. The tour included 2 wineries with a stop where we could choose to get some lunch and then we went to another winery. The town we visited where we could get lunch or shop was charming. We bought wine at two of the three wineries, it was that good. We decided to get a bite to eat and it was great. Overall, I highly recommend it! Gabriel made this tour memorable.

Fabulous wine tour of Luberon - This is the small group tour to book. We were a group of 7 in total and were picked up in an immaculate people mover at a location that was easy to find. Eric’s knowledge of Luberon, its wine and people was exceptional. What ever your level of wine knowledge, Eric was able to answer and explain the wines and wine making in an enthralling way. The tour includes 3 wineries which are magnificent for their Architecture, landscape and their story. The wines were mostly affordable and there was something to please the palette of each member on the tour. Eric kindly gave the group the option of a short lunch and walk around or long lunch sampling local produce and wines. We opted to join the Danish gentlemen who had also joined the tour. The afternoon was full of laughter and amazing terrines, fish ceviche, vegetable tart and steak paired with rose and beers. Eric’s being the consummate host, was very caring about everyone’s comfort, learned everyone’s name and shared stories of his life and friends in Luberon. The final winery was exceptional as was the wine and the whole experience.

All Day Wine Tour around Luberon from Marseille - Erick, our guide was on time and drove us to the wine region in a new Mercedes mini-van. The scenery was fantastic, especially as we drove through the vineyards. Erick was very knowledgeable, and had a great personality. At the three wineries we visited, we had a total of 16 wines we tasted. We visited the town of Lourmarin for a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome time - Really great day, we got to try a lot of different Provence wines and they did a great job of picking different styles of wineries (larger, smaller and biodynamic, and family-owned). We had plenty of time for lunch and got to see a really cute small town. It was a great way to get out of Marseille and break up the trip. Pick-up and drop-off were prompt and easy to find. Our guide, Eric, even used to make his own wines so was super knowledgeable and struck a good balance of technical knowledge and fun.

Great time in the French countryside! - My friend and I had a great time on this tour! It allowed us o see a lot of the French countryside, as well as how beautiful it all is! The 3 spots for the tastings were all very tasty and informative about the wines we were trying. The small town for lunch was very quaint, but had a lot of options of very good food! I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling in the area!

Our host was fantastic.... - Our host was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly and good fun. Unfortunately there were 4 French speaking guests on the trip as well as 4 English speaking guests. Again, the host was great and accommodated both groups but it meant we spent 50% of the time quite bored as we could not engage with him.
