About this tour
Spend a full day exploring Aix-en-Provence and the Mont Sainte-Victoire wine region, tracing Cézanne's artistic footsteps through Provençal countryside. After wandering the old town, you'll drive south into the national park, stopping in the village of Puyloubier for lunch before visiting two local wineries: Domaine de St Ser, perched high against the mountain's slopes, and Domaine Terre de Mistral, a family operation known for award-winning reds, whites and rosés. Seven-and-a-half hours total.

- Cézanne's Aix-en-Provence old town on foot

- Lunch in historic village square, Puyloubier
- Biodynamic winemaking at high-altitude Domaine de St Ser

What to expect
Your driver collects you from central Aix for a leisurely morning stroll through narrow streets and squares where Cézanne sketched. You'll then head south, watching the landscape shift as Mont Sainte-Victoire rises ahead—the same peak the artist painted dozens of times. After lunch on a village square, you'll visit two contrasting estates. The first sits high on exposed slopes where Mediterranean sun and dry winds shape the grapes; the second is a multi-generational family affair with a broader cellar range. Both offer tastings; the second also produces olive oil.
Good to know
Lunch is self-funded in Puyloubier. Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the old town and vineyard grounds. The route is accessible for prams and strollers. This works well as a shore excursion from Marseille port.
