About this experience
This private wine tour sets out from Nice and explores two contrasting estates in the French Riviera. You'll discover the diversity of local winemaking through guided visits and tastings at each property, experiencing both traditional and innovative techniques.
At the first stop, visit a château with protected AOP status, where winemaking follows classic traditions using oak barrels. The estate produces a moderate volume of wine, widely enjoyed throughout the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur region. Here, you can sample their signature styles and learn about the heritage behind each bottle.
Next, the tour shifts to a smaller, family-run vineyard with a hands-on approach. This winery stands out for its use of glass amphorae, harnessing the sun’s warmth for several months to develop distinctive flavors. This contrast offers insight into the region's varied winemaking philosophies.
Between estate visits, the experience includes a leisurely lunch break in picturesque Saint-Paul-de-Vence, renowned as one of France’s most charming villages. This tour is ideal for wine enthusiasts eager to delve into the Riviera’s unique viticultural landscape and savor local flavors at a relaxed pace.
