Frank was so nice and welcoming, he did a great job teaching us all about Provence, its history and making / tasting wine. He brought us to an amazing local restaurant and served as our translator and photographer. I did this tour with my wife and we would highly recommend!

Frank was fantastic! He picked up our group of 5 at the Cruise port in a comfortable and spacious minivan. He took us to three very different vineyards, and is very knowledgeable about the winemaking process, the grapes and the history of the region. We had a private tasting at each Vineyard and the opportunity to purchase the very Reasonably priced Red, white and rosé. Bonus: we enjoyed a wonderful lunch seaside and lovely drive through the countryside.

Our guide/driver Frank was fantastic. We loved that it was just our group of 6. We went to 3 local wineries, got to view their processes, and tasted a variety of wines from my favorite area of Provence. Seeing the French countryside was a bonus. We were given time to explore Cassis and have a lovely seaside lunch. Highly recommended if you are wine lover.

Beautiful day touring Provence. Our guide Frank took us to two small (not touristy) wineries that were kid friendly (we were travelling with our 5 and 8 year old) We met the head wine makers and owners! Our lunch in the small town of Hyères and walk thru the medieval town there was also very nice. The company planned everything with only a few days notice and was very communicative. Highly recommend.
