The tour went to Aix en...
Corinne_R, Dec 2024
The tour went to Aix en Provence for a couple hours to explore and two wineries, where we learned about the wine making process at each and the overall winemaking history of the region. Brice was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and funny. Would definitely book again!

We had a great time on this tour. Aix en Provence is an amazing village. Beautiful shops and great food. Our tour guide, Brice, was super knowledgeable about the area and the wines. He took us to two vineyards. It was a great tasting with a great education on the area wines. We were able to get a lot done in a short time. Would definitely recommend this tour for wine lovers!!!

To start, my group and I showed up at the wrong pick up location, and the Provence Wine Tour organizers were extremely patient and understanding. I called them on the phone and they were able to organization a pickup for us to ensure we didn't miss the tour.
Our tour guide was an absolutely incredible. This guy was a certified sommelier, and he knew everything there was to know about wine. I mean, I'm talking grape varieties, terroir, and the region's history. He basically turned us into wine nerds in a matter of hours.
What was really interesting was how he clued us into the bigger picture: the impact of climate change on wine production. It was like a wine and climate change crash course. He explained the challenges vineyards face and what they're doing to adapt. Very eye-opening.
He was also a walking, talking wine encyclopedia, answering all our questions, no matter how silly they seemed. Plus, he had a great recommendation for a restaurant to hit up for dinner, and the food and wine pairings were spot on.
I'd jump at the chance to do it all over again, and you should too. Trust me, this tour is a must do when vising the Provence region, and it'll leave you with great memories and a newfound love and appreciation for wine. Cheers to that! 🍷🥂

We really enjoyed this experience! The guide (Eric) was knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and helpful. From a lovely lunch recommendation in Aix-en-Provence to fascinating facts about Marseille, he never failed to go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful and the wine tasting was fun.
