Private Tour
Half Day Authentic Countryside Wine Tour with Picnic & Pétanque
Overview

4 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This is much more than a regular "touristy" wine tour.
We'll start the day by a drive through the most beautiful (and still unexplored by mass tourisme) wines valley around Sainte Victoire massif.
I'll bring you to a nice, authentic vineyard where I'll explain you the wine production process and of course you'll try the delicious wines from the property: 1 white, 1 red and 3 totally different rosés to learn more about this most famous wine from Provence !
Then, we'll have some fun playing pétanque and having a local picnic under the shade of plane trees on the main square in a little, quiet village off the beaten path.
After that, you'll have your free time to have a walk through wines fields or explore the tiny alleys in the village, have a coffee or ice-creams...
If you prefer, instead of our pétanque-picnic, I can prepare for your group an intimate picnic in the nature or another winery visit.

5.00Tom was a very amenable host and accommodated our special requests as we had restricted time. We went to a vineyard and a wine cooperative and tried lots of delicious wines, learning lots about how they were made and the culture of family wine-making. Although our picnic was rained off (which is really unusual!), Tom took us on a little drive and showed us a cool artists mansion and then dropped us at the hotel with our picnics and wine to take away! Despite the rain we all had a great time! Would highly recommend Tom. Great local knowledge, excellent English and more than helpful.
Wonderful morning in Provence

5.00A great day exploring the area east of Aix en Provence, under Saint Victoire mountain. We had a diverse set of activities including a vineyard walk, winery visit and tasting, snacks along with a fun games of pelanque, lunch, and a visit to a basilica in St. Maximin. Tom was our driver and guide and shared so much information throughout the day. What a memorable day we had!

5.00What a great tour. Tom was an amazing guide, vivacious and knowledgeable. He has and easy going personality and makes you feel welcome and at ease. We tasted great wines, had a nice lunch and walked through some small villages off the beaten track, which adds to the authentic flavor of the experience. It feels more like a semi private tour, due to the individualized attention to a small group ( maximum of 6 people). Highly recommended.

5.00One of the best and most memorable experiences of our trip to France! Tom truly showed us a day in the life of the locals through food, culture and fun! We began in Aix-en-Provence, where we were let in on the best local boulangerie in Aix, then made our way through the countryside with a stop by the beautiful Mt. Sainte-Victoire, then in Puyloubier to play Petanque and a relaxed tour at a local winery where we (admittedly) picked up (more than) a few bottles. But the true "piece de resistance" was visiting his home to cook delicious traditional appetizers together - I do suggest you come hungry because we made over 8 different dishes and relaxed on a sunny spring day beneath his pool terrace. Before this tour, we joked that we could "rent a friend for the day", but by the end of it, we all truly felt like we had made a new friend, who got us all back safely to our original destination. We already miss Tom!
