A Once-in-a-Lifetime Wine-Tasting Experience
alyssat516, Dec 2024
My husband and I recently enjoyed our first trip to Europe for our honeymoon, starting in London, then exploring Paris and Lucerne, and finally ending our journey in the French Riviera. Our travel agency booked us the "Provence Wine Tour - Private Day Tour from Nice" for the last full day of our honeymoon. We truly saved the best for last. Our experience on this tour was undoubtedly one of the most memorable and favorite highlights of our entire honeymoon.
First, we were greeted by our tour guide, Edwin, outside of our hotel at the promised meet-up time. To our surprise, Edwin told us we were booked for a private tour, meaning it would just be the three of us, without any other group members. My husband and I aren't very knowledgeable about wines to begin with, so having a private tour truly allowed us to have the most customized and unique experience where we could learn all we could ever want about wines. Edwin, a Provence local and sommelier, was the PERFECT guide for our day; he was excellent in patiently answering all our questions and showing us all that his hometown had to offer. Edwin took us to three stunning vineyards—Château Saint Pierre, Château Font du Broc, and Château de Saint-Martin—where we sampled about four wines at each location. We started our tour at Château Saint Pierre, where Edwin taught us how to taste wine like a true sommelier. We were able to take photos amongst the endless rows of grapevines and perfectly manicured landscapes, as well as taste a variety of rosés on their quiet patio. On our way to Château Font du Broc, Edwin mentioned Chapelle Sainte Roseline and kindly took a small detour, allowing us to see the Romanesque chapel, built in the 1200s, for ourselves. Although this gesture may have seemed minuscule to Edwin, it really set this tour apart from all the others we went on during our honeymoon as he made every effort to make the tour special for us. At Château Font du Broc, Edwin guided us down a flight of stairs to visit the underground wine cellar, which was absolutely breathtaking.
For lunch, Edwin dropped us off at Maison Barret in Les Arcs. When he rejoined us afterward, he translated that the servers had gifted us a bottle of rosé to take home—an unexpected surprise! We had a little bit of time for Edwin to take us on a walk through Les Arcs, a quiet picturesque village that had the medieval charm reminiscent of Èze but without the hustle and bustle of hundreds of tourists. We finished our tour at Château de Saint-Martin where Edwin showed us the differences between the stainless steel vats and vats carved into the rock in their underground cellar.
This tour was absolutely perfect. We learned about the history of each vineyard and the dedication of the hardworking locals who take pride in producing quality wines. The hospitality of Provence was unforgettable, and we would love to return for more experiences like this. We highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a memorable wine-tasting adventure with people who are passionate about making your visit truly unforgettable. Thank you SO much Edwin and Azur Wine Tours! ... and as Edwin taught us, “Santé!”
Magical Day in Provence!

Our tour guide, Franke was exceptional!! As a winemaker himself, he offered a wealth of knowledge about the region, varietals, and tastings. He was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with.

We had a fantastic day with Peter as our guide and Lionel as our driver. Great communication with us pre trip. The day was unique and special with 3 vineyards each with beautiful scenery and great wines which we largely cannot access at home. Peter was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Took us to an excellent local spot for lunch as well. The vans were very comfortable. Highly recommend!
