What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation or airport and driven into the hilly country above Nice, where vines cling to steep slopes. At each of the three vineyards, a local guide—genuinely passionate about their region's wines—walks you through how they farm, ferment and bottle. You'll taste the results: reds with mineral backbone, refreshing whites, and the dry rosés these hills do well. The guide reads your interest level and adjusts explanation accordingly. Lunch isn't included; you'll stop in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a perched medieval village with restaurants and cafés to suit various budgets and appetites. Afternoon tastings continue after you've eaten.
