What to expect
Your guide will collect you in an air-conditioned car and drive to the first winery, typically a smaller family operation. You'll descend into cool cellars, see oak barrels and steel tanks, and hear how Provence's limestone soils influence the final wine. At each stop, a winemaker or sommelier pours several glasses and explains what you're tasting—colour, nose, structure. Between the second and third estates, you'll detour through a hilltop village with a Romanesque chapel, giving your palate a break. Tastings are serious but relaxed; spitting buckets are provided if you prefer.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—pack something or eat in the village. Wear comfortable shoes for cellar floors, which can be uneven. The tour works for all fitness levels; vehicles access the estates directly. Pregnant women and those with mobility concerns should confirm ahead.
