What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Nice hotel in a climate-controlled minivan and heads inland toward Provence's vine-striped hills. You'll stop at two working châteaux where staff walk you through their cellars and current releases—expect to taste several wines at each venue, though purchases are optional. Between estates, your guide points out the landscape that shapes the wines: clay soils, maritime breezes, centuries-old terracing. The villages warrant a stroll; anticipate uneven stone streets and the occasional incline. The day unfolds at conversational pace, with your guide fielding questions and steering you toward the stories behind each producer.
