What To Expect
Avignon
Come and enjoy a unique gastronomic experience in the majestic city of Avignon! In the heart of Provence, Avignon is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful jewels in the south of France, with its exceptional historical center, its renowned theatre festival and, of course, its delicious Provençal cuisine: aromatic herbs, tomatoes, olive oil, a good glass of Côte du Rhône and sun-ripened fruit. Possible tastings may change according to the season and availabilities of our partners. Let our local food expert walk you through the historic streets of this magnificent "City of the Popes", stopping at its delicious shops, tasting Rhône Valley wine and local specialties.
Inside the local covered market, where the locals run their errands and buy fresh ingredients to cook at home, you will discover the pillars of Provençal cuisine: local olive oil and fresh vegetables, used to prepare the famous tapenade. Here you will also try a slice of the famous pissaladière, a tasty and juicy onion tart with anchovies and olives. One of the most beloved snacks in town (lunch only)

5.00We very much enjoyed our culinary tour with Nastassja. We visited four different restaurants/shops. The food was diverse and excellent. We also visited the food market. The food was plentiful and delicious. It seemed that Nastassja was going going over and beyond to provide us a memorable experience. We highly recommend the tour and we highly recommend Nasstassja.
Perfect afternoon!

5.00This was a delightful afternoon tour! The food was amazing. Learning about Avignon, its restaurants and its food was exactly what we were looking for. Nastassja, our tour guide, made the tour as great as it was. Highly recommend for couples, families and solos. Today (the day after the tour) I plan to go shopping at several of the places we enjoyed during the tour. If you consider yourself a foodie, this is a must do tour and Nastassja is the guide I would ask for.
Think twice before booking .....

2.00This was very underwhelming and certainly felt very shirt of the painted picture in the description. Definately not worth the money ... food did not reflect descriptions , and the wine was house wines were very average quality. Tour guide ok... but little info exchanged ....

5.00Our guide, Maryna, was lovely. Very knowledgeable about the history of Avignon and gave us many helpful recommendations to visit other towns in the Luberon. The food was interesting and diverse. Starting with a wonderful charcuterie followed by an olive oil tasting. Excellent lunch of baked Camembert and frites with wine and final stop for dessert of your choice. I would highly recommend the tour.

5.00Our guide Marina was fun, informative and a joy to spend a few hours with on this food tour in Avignon. Marina met us promptly at the stunning Palais des Papes, giving us some historical background on the palace, and we proceeded to visit Les Halles, the main city food market. We enjoyed apero style appetizers, tasted the finest olive oils and balsamic vinegars from Serge’s Olives, and talked about the local delicacies and food customs of Provence. Next, we had an early lunch at Le Vintage with a glass of wine, while talking with Marina about all Avignon has to offer, culturally and socially. To follow up, though we barely had room after such a great meal, we went to a local tarte cafe, L’Epicerie de Ginette. Gorgeous raspberry and a pear/chocolate tarte, in a gorgeous historical square. Lastly, we visited one of the best local Avignon/Provence gift and gourmet shops to taste local sweets and honeys, and ended the tour with Marina giving us some background while viewing the famous Pont d’Avignon. Excellent time, excellent food, guide and company!

3.00Natasjja was a wonderful guide as she took us through the tour! We chatted on many things and she shared her deep love for the region with us. The actual tour was a let down as we were taken to various places to taste cheese, no protein. Nastajja made the tour enjoyable
