Wine Tour Like a Local in Scenic Provence with Picnic & Pétanque
5.0 / 5 · 17 traveler reviews
More than a wine tour, discover Provence through wine, gastronomy & local lifestyle with me. Having a walk though the magical Sainte Victoire Valley, the area I call home, you'll immerse in the nature & feel the local ambiance beyond the usual tourist paths. Then, I'll explain you the specificity of the Côtes de Provence Sainte Victoire appellation, a prestigious region with only 31 producers. I selected an organic estate, where you'll learn more about the wine production, the art of tasting & try their best gastronomic cuvées. After that, we'll play a traditional game of pétanque & share a gourmet picnic that I'll prepare for you with local saucisson, olives, goat cheese, figs, lavender honey, herbs & 3 different olive oils. It will be the perfect moment to open a delicious rosé from another winery made with totallly different grape varieties. Join me for this relaxed, authentic and premium experience sharing the Provençal art of living.

Wine tasting at a local cooperative. Enjoy free time in an authentic hilltop village at the foot of Sainte-Victoire Mountain. While you explore its peaceful streets or take a short walk through the surrounding vineyards, I'll prepare your gourmet Provençal picnic with carefully selected local specialties.
