Dinner in the Vineyard near Nice: Wine Tasting & Chef's Meal

Wine, vines, and a three-course meal overlooking the sea

This three-hour activity near Nice combines wine tasting and a masterclass, a walk through a working vineyard, and a chef-prepared dinner or lunch in an open-air setting with sea views. Live music and art exhibitions on select dates complete the experience, all hosted in a landscape of vines and olive trees within minutes of the city.

The experience

The evening or afternoon unfolds in a vineyard a short distance from Nice, where you'll begin with a wine tasting and presentation of the region's traditional wines. A walk through the vines and past century-old olive trees follows, moving through the working landscape itself rather than observing it from a distance. The setting shifts between the hillsides and the sea, depending on which vineyard hosts your date. The exact address arrives after booking.

A three-course meal arrives next, prepared by a chef on-site when your group reaches six people. In smaller groups, a traiteur service handles the kitchen. The food is served in the vineyard itself, surrounded by the vines you've just walked through. Live music starts when the group reaches eight people, creating the backdrop for the meal. On certain dates, art exhibitions or other entertainment add another layer to the afternoon or evening, though the core experience (wine, food, landscape) remains the same.

The entire activity runs about three hours in open air, so dress for the season and the weather. A guide speaks English or French throughout. Children can attend, though the wine tasting is not recommended for them. Infants and small children are welcome in a pram or stroller, and service animals are permitted.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to taste and learn about local wines in the setting where they're grown, with a meal cooked in front of you rather than served from a kitchen elsewhere. The chef and live music depend on group size (six people minimum for cooking, eight for music), so a smaller party will have the vineyard, the walk, and the meal, but not the performance elements.
