Private Wine Tour in Provence: Tastings & Winery Visits

Taste Provence wines straight from the source, with a guide who knows which bottles matter

A private full-day wine tour in Provence pairs tastings at several hand-selected wineries with visits to one of three Provençal towns (Cassis, Aix en Provence, or Lourmarin) chosen after booking based on your location and preference. Your English-speaking wine expert guide covers grape varieties, blending techniques, and the region's appellations while you sample rosés, reds and whites. Pickup from your hotel or accommodation is included, along with private transport in an air-conditioned minivan and all winery entry and tasting fees.

The experience

Cassis, Aix en Provence and Lourmarin each anchor a different route through the Provence wine region, so the wineries you visit depend on which town you pick for your lunch break. Your guide selects the stops based on what's operating on your date and what suits your taste preferences, whether you're drawn to the region's famous dry rosés, powerful reds built from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, or the lighter whites. The itinerary takes shape after you book, when your guide confirms the exact departure time and which town fits your accommodation's location.

You meet your guide at 9am in front of your hotel or accommodation (anywhere from Marseille to Avignon, the Luberon villages or the Alpilles), and travel by private minivan throughout the day. Winery visits and tastings are included. The guide walks you through what you're tasting and how the wines are made. A lunch break in your chosen town breaks up the day, though food and drinks there are on your own. The tour runs six to eight hours depending on your location and the stops available that day.

What grape varieties will I taste on this Provence wine tour?

The tour focuses on Provence's signature varieties: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. You'll taste them as single varietals and in blends, and your guide explains how each one contributes to the region's rosés, reds and whites.

Can I choose which town I visit? Cassis, Aix en Provence or Lourmarin?

You can express a preference, but the town is confirmed after booking based on which wineries are operating on your date and how far your accommodation is from each route. Your guide will contact you to finalize the choice.

What time does the tour start and how long does it run?

The standard start is 9am, though other times are possible and will be arranged after you book. The full day runs six to eight hours depending on your hotel's location and the winery stops available that day.

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Lunch is not included. You'll have a break in your chosen town where you can eat on your own. The tour covers winery visits, tastings, transport and guide fees.

Do I need to be an experienced wine drinker to join?

No. Your English-speaking wine expert guide teaches you about the grapes, blending techniques and Provence appellations as you taste, so it works for anyone curious about wine, regardless of experience.

What's the minimum age to join this tour?

Children are welcome from age 10 and up. The legal drinking age in France is 18, so younger participants can attend the tastings but won't be able to drink the wines.
