You will arrive half an hour later in the wine region of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire, located at the foothills of the impressive Sainte-Victoire Mountain.

You will be back to Aix en Provence around 12.15pm to the same place where we met at the beginning of the tour. We select different types of wineries in order to offer you the opportunity to see different ways to work. We have developed partnerships allowing us to take you behind the scenes: from the winemaking & aging rooms to the bottling lines, you will see everything! Your guide will also explain you about the soil, the climate, the grape varieties, the famous "terroir" but also the picking, pruning, green harvesting and many other subjects in a relaxed and educational way.
