Stop At: French Riviera Wine Tours, 06000 Nice France

You will meet your english-speaking wine expert guide at 9am in front of our meeting point (centrally located) in Nice.

Your guide will drive you in a clean, comfortable & A/C minivan accommodating up to 8 people maximum.

Around 10am, you will arrive in the wine region of Côtes de Provence.

You will visit 2 wineries in the morning, get about 1h30 free time for lunch in a quiet village of Provence, and then visit a 3rd winery in the afternoon.

You will taste some of the finest Rosés from Provence but also powerful and well-balanced reds, aromatic and lively whites.

You will be back to Nice around 5pm to the same place where we met in the morning (starting point).

We select different types of wineries in order to offer you the opportunity to see different ways to work. We have developed partnerships allowing us to take you behind the scenes: from the winemaking & aging rooms to the bottling lines, you will see everything!

Your guide will also explain you about the soil, the climate, the grape varieties, the famous "terroir" but also the picking, pruning, green harvesting and many other subjects in a relaxed and educational way.

Peter was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide both on the area and the wines. Clean comfy van and a good driver. The three wineries were all interesting and different. We have been on many wine tours in various countries and would rate this one highly.

We spent a rainy and cool day touring the beautiful countryside and three wineries in Provence. The bad weather did not detour us from a having a great experience. Our tour guide Peter was friendly, knowledgeable and kept us on time. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great time. Peter was an excellent guide who was very informative about Provence. A good sampling at all three vineyards.

I did not know what to expect on this tour. When I booked there were no reviews and I was skeptical of paying 200/person to essentially be driven around Provence and sip a few ounces of wine. I may be among the first to tell you that I was thoroughly satisfied with this experience. I took the Cotes de Provence wine tour on June 2. It was a Saturday which worked in our favour, as there was minimal traffic at 9am. We were in a comfortable, air conditioned van with other English speaking travellers. Our tour guide, Peter, was a British native, so he spoke perfect English. Peter did a great job of breaking the ice and encouraging us to get to know our fellow traveller, which definitely enhanced our experience. Peter was very knowledgeable, not just about wine and the wineries on our tour, but also of the geography and history of the area. This tour was a great way to see some of the lesser traveled parts of the French Riviera and the Provence region. The wineries were beautiful and the tour allowed us a back stage pass to view the wine making process before enjoying fantastic wines. For lunch we were dropped off in a quaint town where we had 1.5hour to enjoy a lunch at a place of our choosing and do some sightseeing. I chose this tour for that reason other tours I considered provide lunch, but would not accommodate dietary restrictions. My partner and I ate on Peter's recommendation at Cafe De Paris, we had the burgers for which they use potato patties as the bun. I had the veggie burger not suitable for vegans it was excellent, we were very happy with Cafe de Paris. My partner and I both agree that this tour was the highlight of our time in Nice, we definitely recommend it.
