The experience

The afternoon starts at 1:45pm from a central meeting point close to Cours Mirabeau, where your guide picks up the group in a minivan. You'll arrive at the first estate around 2:30pm and move to a second winery in the Luberon region, each one chosen to show different winemaking approaches. The operator has partnerships with both estates that let you see behind the scenes: the aging rooms, the bottling lines, the whole operation.

At each winery you taste structured reds, aromatic rosés and lively whites: about 9 different wines in total. Your guide explains the soil, the climate, the grape varieties and the terroir in a relaxed way, and walks you through the vineyard to show how pruning and organic practices work. You're back in Aix-en-Provence by 6pm at the same meeting point where you started.

Is this one for you?The four-and-a-half-hour afternoon leaves your morning free to explore Aix-en-Provence itself, and you're back by early evening. Small groups of up to eight mean you travel with a minivan instead of a coach, so the pace stays relaxed and the guide can answer questions as you go.
