About this tour
Spend ten hours exploring the Côtes de Provence St-Victoire wine region and the hilltop villages of Luberon. You'll taste wines at two producers, then drift through the ochre-tinted streets of Roussillon, the lavender-backed slopes around Gordes, and the market town of Lourmarin. A minibus and guide handle navigation so you can focus on the landscape and what's in your glass.

What to expect
The morning focuses on wine. You'll visit two working wineries where staff walk you through their vineyards and cellars before pouring tastings—expect to learn how the local terroir shapes the finished bottles. After lunch (on your own), the afternoon pivots to villages. Your guide steers you through Roussillon's characterful squares, then up to Gordes for views across the valley. Lourmarin, the final stop, rewards a slow meander through arcades and cafés. The pace is leisurely; you're not racing between stops.
Good to know
Bring water and sunscreen—Provence heat can surprise. Wear comfortable walking shoes for cobbled streets and uneven terrain. Arrange your own lunch in one of the villages; restaurants and shops close between 12–15:00. Minimum age for tastings is 18; pregnant travellers should sit this one out. Children under 4 cannot join.
