Product Info

-What you can expect-
Immerse yourself in a delightful half-day experience at two quintessential wineries in Provence, while soaking up the mesmerising views of Cezanne's countryside. Your morning adventure begins with meeting your guide in Aix-en-Provence.

Hop into a comfortable minibus and embark on a scenic journey to the landscapes of Sainte-Victoire Mountain. Experience Provence through the lens of the renowned painter Cézanne, who drew inspiration from these beautiful surroundings. The vineyards of Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire, like all vineyards in Provence, are recognised as some of the most natural in France, thanks to the drying effects of the Mistral wind. The shallow soils, composed of limestone and argillaceous sandstone, yield high-quality wines.

Indulge in visits to two Provencal vineyards for tours and wine tastings. Both estates have been handpicked by A la Francaise for their authenticity and charm. You might even get the chance to meet the owner of the Domain! Don’t forget to bring your camera along to capture the awe-inspiring views of Sainte Victoire Mountain. The wines you'll sample include robust reds with excellent structure (typical grape varieties used are Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Carignan, and Cabernet-Sauvignon), and subtle, refined rosés. Conclude your morning wine tour of Provence with a newfound appreciation for the wines and landscapes that inspired Cezanne's artistry. Your guide will then escort you back to Aix-en-Provence.
