You will meet your english-speaking wine expert guide at 9am in front of our meeting point (centrally located) in Nice. Your guide will drive you in a comfortable & A/C minivan accommodating up to 8 people maximum. Around 10am, you will arrive in the wine Region of Côtes de Provence. You will visit 2 wineries in the morning, get about 1h30 free time for lunch in a quiet village of Provence, and then visit a 3rd winery in the afternoon. We take you behind the scenes: From the winemaking & aging rooms to the bottling lines, you will see everything! Your guide will 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. You will taste some of the finest Rosés from Provence but also powerful and well-balanced reds, aromatic and lively whites. You will be back to Nice around 5pm to the same place where we met in the morning (starting point).
