5.00What a wonderful day we had exploring Provence, touring wineries, enjoying an authentic French provincial lunch and discovering Hyeres. Our guide, Frank, greeted us with a smile and planned our entire day. We visited two wineries but did more than just sip wine. Frank was knowledge and explained the wine making process from start to finish, from the fields to the bottling, as well as the history of the area and the. wineries. We enjoyed a fabulous provincial lunch at Le Jardin (octopus, squid, aubergines, cheeses, and meats ) then afterwards explored the ancient area of Hyeres, where you feel as if you stepped back in time! Thank you to Frank, our brilliant guide!
Made us fall in love with Provence

5.00Frank 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!
Wine, wine, and more wine!

5.00Frank 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.

5.00Our 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.
Unique wineries, nicely planned day

5.00Beautiful 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.
A perfect day of wine, French sun and beautiful views!

5.00One perfect day in Provence, learning about wine, experiencing great weather and a very knowledgeable guide! We walked with expectation, just outside of the cruise ship port gates, and there was our French guide, Eric, waiting for us. He immediately took the time to get to know our names. He was warm, kind and friendly, and gave us some great information. On our way to our first winery, Eric taught us so much about the French wine region of Bandol. Our first winery was Bunan, and it was there that he taught us knowledge and information that one cannot learn across continents. We actually saw the vines and the countryside and we felt peace and happiness. We were able to taste five different wines at the Bodin winery and they were all fabulous. The next winery was La Suffrene and we sat at a table outside and drank the wine, soaked up the sun, and listened to Eric continuing to talk about wine making. After visiting the seaside village of Cassis for a delicious lunch (so charming), the third and final winery was Bodin and it did not disappoint. It features a beautiful outdoor cafe set right among the vines. Eric introduced us to a lovely young woman who talked about Bodin wines and their wine business. After leaving Bodin, Eric allowed us a bonus stop went to at a sweeping high and picturesque view of Cassis. The views are so beautiful, I had to rub my eyes to be sure I wasn’t dreaming and I felt right at home watching the climbers on their cliff approaches. I think most, if not all, my group of 6 would say hands down, this was the best day of our 12 day European stay and cruise through Spain, France and Italy. It was such a wonderful day and the wine so delightful, I felt like weeping.
