An excellent experience all around. Our guide and driver Laura (sp?) was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the wine business from vineyard management through winemaking, plus the ins & outs of the appellation bureaucracy. We asked some technical questions, as we are former vineyard & winery owners & operators, and if Laura wasn’t 100% sure of the answer, she asked the local winery representative and got clarification. She also had great recommendations on lunch spots. 👍👍, and would highly recommend 🍷
Our guide Laura is fantastic. Her knowledge of wine and wine making is outstanding. We learned so much about the local wines and how they are produced. She is basically a. Sommelier and her sense of humor kept us laughing. We saw three Vineyards and one was actually being used as a movie set for a new movie. Absolute breathtaking wine cave.
Me and my partner had an amazing day with this wine tour. Lara was fantastic and really made the entire experience special for us with her immense knowledge and comical personality. Lunch was delicious, and we lucked out with a slightly cloudy day so it was really a great experience overall. The wines were all high quality and we enjoyed that there was variety between rose, white and red wines.
I had a great time on this tour, trying different wines in the Provence region. Stefan was both professional and friendly. His driving was smooth and we had a great group with us. This is a great tour if you are short on, would like to try new wines, and see the French countryside. Would definitely recommend.
This was a great intro into some local Provence wineries close to Nice. I was traveling solo and the guide (and group!) were very welcoming. I learned some new tidbits about regional wine and the views were beautiful. The wine was of course good too!
Very interesting and informative wine tour. The time went by really quickly but we weren't rushed at any of the wineries. We went to lunch where the tour guide took us. It wasn't a choice in the matter, but the food was good and very reasonable. No time to look around the little town. But it was better to have more time in the wineries anyway. Would recommend this, especially if you love wines. You can have them shipped back home.
I had such a wonderful day exploring the French Provence wine region. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the vineyards were stunning, and the wine tastings were fantastic. It was the perfect combination of great wine, beautiful surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere. A fantastic experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the beauty and flavours of Provence! 🍷🇫🇷
We had a fantastic wine tasting day and would highly recommend it. Stephan was a brilliant host—knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate about wine, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The wineries we visited were all excellent, each offering a fantastic selection of wines with generous tasting portions. There was a great balance between learning about the winemaking process and the technical aspects, while still having plenty of opportunities to sample the wines. The air-conditioned minibus was a welcome comfort, especially in the summer heat, and the small group size made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.
Good views, wine and guide! Had a pleasant day and learned a lot
Wonderful! Loved the wines and wineries. Scenery was beautiful! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and entertaining
This was hands down one of the best things we have done on our Honeymoon. Lara was an absolutely phenomenal guide, so so fun and equally knowledgeable about wine. There were only 8 in our group, the maximum number able to be in a group. We fit perfectly in a lux comfortable van - it was the perfect small wine tour group. The restaurant we had lunch at was delicious and reasonably priced (this is optional if you’d like to find your own restaurant). We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is wanting to taste LOTS of yummy wine, with a fantastic guide. Thank you Lara!!
Our guide Stephen was yhe best part of the excursion and the excursion was amazing. France is a beautiful country and we got to spend time in the best of France.
Had an amazing experience. Our guide Lara was amazing. Amazing knowledge of wines and the French area. Mad learning about wines fun and very relatable. The vineyards were beautiful and had some great wines! Highly recommend.
It is a wonderful day in Provence. Lara our guide/champion led us to three vineyards. we enjoyed them all. Her knowledge and insight was welcome, and it made even the seasoned wine tourer learn a lot. Our lunch stop was memorable as well. . Gongrats to Lara! D&G NOTL
Lara our guide made our day full of fun and information about Provence and its history in making wines especially Rose. We thoroughly enjoyed our whole day.
This was a very fun experience to visit a few wineries in the French countryside. The tastings were private to the group and very relaxed
a lovely and well qualified tour guide. she oversaw tastings at all 3 wineries which gave a consistent feel to the day.
My sister and I loved our full day wine tour with Lara! Everything—our fabulous, personable and knowledgeable guide, the comfortable transport, the variety and volume of wines we got to try, the lunch recommendation, the vineyard selections—was perfect! This tour is highly recommended to any wine enthusiast visiting Nice. Thank you so much, Lara!
Pick up was easy, the hour drive was made wonderful by Laura’s conversation and explanations of the wine country. It is a full day, we visited 3 wonderful vineyards, with excellent tastings, discussion of the wines, wine making process and unique aspects of each stop. We were so happy with the experience.
We had a lovely December wine tour with Lara into Les Arcs Sur Argens. Saw three wineries of various sizes and outlooks, from traditional to almost experimental. We tasted about 20 different wines of all types. All of the wineries made excellent rosé as you’d expect but the real finds in my opinion were the unusual or uncommon wines made in ways that we had never seen. Provence does it differently than anywhere else and Lara was encyclopedic in her knowledge of all the techniques and all the wines we had. She never talked down to us and her enthusiasm and lively personality was infectious. She took care of all of the details of shipping the wine we bought back to the US. Well worth the money, lovely day trip out of Nice.
We had an amazing day with Lara. She is highly knowledgeable and kept the day fun. The wineries were beautiful and the wine was amazing. Would highly recommend this experience.
Very enjoyable tour! Lara was a wonderful guide, explained a lot of the history and processes, and made wine tasting approachable and laid back. Excellent wines, lovely lunch, and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!
Tasted great wines at three different wineries, and lunched at a great place. Lara was so knowledgeable and down to earth. A must do!
Laura was an incredible guide. She explained the wines in such a way that was so easy for me to understand as a beginner wine lover. By the end of the tour, she really felt like a friend. I highly recommend this tour!
Wonderful tour. Lots of wine tasting and information bout the French wine industry. Lovely landscapes
Sandra was great!! The wine tour is really a nice and easy day trip to do in Nice! If you have the time, I would add this in.
Lara was wonderful! A true wine expert and talent guide. We learned so much in a beautiful setting. Lunch was at a nice local town. She did a great job of helping us to learn about local wine and food pairings as well as better understanding of our own likes and dislikes in wine
An amazing tour of the Provence wine region! Our guide Lara was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. We really enjoyed the day!
Sandra was an amazing tour guide, the wine was great, and we had a stellar group of ppl. Highly recommend! (Based on being in Nice)
It was fabulous! Sandra our guide was informative and fun. We drank some great wines, mostly rose. Visited 3 winery’s just a great day!
We greatly enjoyed the experience. Sandra was a terrific host and guide, with a terrific personality and a wealth of knowledge about the region and the wines. We traveled with another couple, and a family of four. Sandra’s big personality opened the door for all of us to become fast friends and raised the bar to new heights. Highly recommended.
Our tour guides name escapes me but, she was the blonde lady from England and she was hands down the best wine tour guide I’ve ever had and I’ve been all over the world doing these tours. The pickup area in the morning was easy to get to. Everyone was there early. We left on the dot and it took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to the first vineyard. All three vineyards were excellent and absolutely stunning. The wine was so good and you try such a variety at each vineyard. We stopped after the second vineyard for lunch and my God was the food good. Get the truffle pasta. They’re big portions so it’s easily shareable. I would 100% go back with this company if in Nice again. We met some incredible people on this tour as well. We ended up getting more drinks and then dinner. You’ll meet great people and sample good wine.
One of the best wine tours I have ever taken. Our guide, Lara, was knowledgeable, fun and we had an amazing time and….tasted great wine. I would highly recommend.
My sister and I had a lovely day wine tasting! Our guide Lara was the best! She was so knowledgeable, friendly, and had lots of fun stories. The scenery was beautiful and the wineries she selected were perfect. We tasted a majority of roses, plus some interesting whites and reds. We were appreciative that she made a reservation in town for us, and we were happy to eat and chat with the others in our group. It was truly a fantastic experience we’d highly recommend.
What is the amazing day tour! Sandra is very friendly and experienced ! She shared lots of wine knowledge. It’s just like joining a party with friends. I will join this tour again if I back to Nice!
Lara was an amazing tour guide and extremely knowledgable and entertaining. Her humor and education about wine made for a really fun day! The time flew by, the wineries were beautiful and different from one another. Such a lovely day to see Provence. The only adjustment I'd recommend making is to only do lunch in the little town and skip the free time in the town since there is nothing to see there. Spend a little more time hanging out at a winery instead!
We had the most wonderful day visiting three very different vineyards. Sandra was a delightful, informative guide, explaining how the different flavours of the wine come about. We had tremendous fun!
Lara was an incredible guide! We had a great day of tastings at 3 beautiful wineries. Lara really enriched the experience with her knowledge and passion for wine and the region. Highly recommend this tour with this particular guide!
A great wine tour with lots of Rose! We went to three vineyards, each with plenty of samples offered to taste red, white and rose. Sandra, our tour guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgable and made the day very fun! Each of the vineyards were beautiful and unique. Only one of them, we were able to actually walk in the vineyards. Lunch in a small down was booked ahead and the food was great. Not much of a town to explore, very quiet.
This is so worth it! Sandra was so kind and a wonderful tour guide! She even booked a table for us ahead of time for lunch which was much appreciated because it took the stress out of finding somewhere to eat when we stopped on the way to the third vineyard. Each vineyard has its own character and Sandra gave us really interesting info on how the wines are made at each one.
Sandra was a wonderful guide and host. We visited three charming and different wineries and had a lovely time.
Laura was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and engaged all of her participants. Her enthusiasm made the day totally enjoyable.
This was a great tour! Plenty of wine. Our tour guide Lara was a native English speaker which made understanding her very easy! I would recommend for anyone who likes wine and wants to learn more about the making process, tasting process, and the tradition wines of the region. Lara was very knowledgeable and had answers to all my questions!
A wonderful tour of Cotes de Provence wines with a very knowledgeable guide. The chateaux we visited were all very different and all producing delightful wines. Our guide (Lara) made our trip fun and our group of eight all enjoyed the day.
This was by far our favorite tour. Lara was excellent and knowledgeable. She also introduced us to wine in a way that wasn’t intimidating. We left the tour wanting to learn more about the region.
Lara is a great guide and very knowledgeable. She truly enjoys her job and she is very personable. We had a great tour! The stop for lunch was a delicious 😋 choice.
Lara is phenomenal. We had a great time! This is a must do tour. Lara is very knowledgeable and very personable. We'll worth the money 😊🍷😍
I cannot recommend this tour enough. Not only did we get our fill of rosé wines, we also learned about (and tasted) the whites and reds of Provence. There was also a fun mix of traditional styles and experimental wines — much of which we wouldn’t be able to find outside of France. Lara was also an incredible tour guide, which made the experience all the more perfect. Highly highly recommend!
Laura did an amazing job hosting us on the wine tour. She's very knowledgeable about the wine and the industry. We were a small group of 5 and experience felt intimate and relaxing...not a heard of tourists being shepherded through some vineyards. Highly recommend.
