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!

Great day out! - Great trip. Laura, our guide, was friendly and SO knowledgeable. The 3 wineries we visited were all different but delightful with their individual characteristics. Our group of 8 were great fun and it was good to spend a day in such lovely surroundings with so many interesting people.

Just what we were looking for! - We spent 4 days using Nice as a base. We’re so happy we found this Provence wine tour. Laura was a great tour guide!! She took us to three wineries which each had a different look. The wines we sampled were delicious. After the first two wineries, we stopped in a medieval town and had a tasty lunch. Then we were off to the last winery. Laura was very knowledgeable about the wine and wineries. It was a beautiful day and the company was very pleasant. Definitely recommend this wine tour.

great tour - This trip exceeded all expectations. Laura did a fantastic job explaining the overall wine industry. Then she explained the specifics of each vineyard. The chosen vineyards were top notch and each one was a bit different. Laura was incredibly personable. All levels of people familiar with wine will find it educational and entertaining.
