About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Côtes de Provence's premier wine estates with a knowledgeable guide. Departing from central Nice, you'll visit family-run wineries including a classified Cru to taste their output: pale rosés, structured reds blended from Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, and crisp whites. Learn how soil, climate and winemaking craft shape each bottle, then sit with the wines themselves.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from a central Nice meeting point and drives the group through vineyards in a climate-controlled minivan. At each winery, you'll walk cellars, see how wine moves from barrel to bottle, then taste current releases. The guide unpacks what makes each wine distinct—the geology beneath the vines, harvest timing, blending choices. You'll sample multiple styles across three or four stops. Pace is leisurely; expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour per estate. Bring water and snacks aren't included.
