Wine Tours from Nice

27 wine tours · from €40
Nice is one of the few French cities with a wine appellation inside its own limits: AOC Bellet, a handful of family estates on the hills west of the centre, around 20 minutes' drive away. Its whites are made mainly from Rolle (Vermentino), alongside rare local grapes such as Braquet and Folle Noire that you'll hardly find anywhere else.
For a full day out, tours from Nice also head west into the Var to the rosé estates of the Côtes de Provence, often combined with a hilltop village such as Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Most include hotel pickup, so you can taste freely.

Private wine tours from Nice

On a private tour the car, the driver-guide and the itinerary are yours alone: most pick you up at your hotel, villa or cruise port, and you choose the estates and the pace. They're often priced per group rather than per person — check each listing — so they work out best for families and groups of friends.

Wine tours: frequently asked questions

Which wine regions can I visit from the French Riviera?
The closest is Bellet, a small appellation on the hills just west of Nice. About an hour west of Cannes lie the rosé estates of the Côtes de Provence, around Les Arcs-sur-Argens, Lorgues and the Saint-Tropez peninsula. Some full-day tours go further, to Bandol near Toulon, known for its Mourvèdre-based reds.
What kind of wine will I taste?
Mostly rosé — it's by far the main colour of the Côtes de Provence. Expect crisp whites from Rolle (Vermentino) too, and structured reds in Bandol and Bellet. A typical estate visit includes a tasting of three to five wines.
How much does a wine tour on the Riviera cost?
The most affordable options are tasting workshops and shared small-group tours, priced per person. Private day tours with your own driver-guide cost considerably more and are often priced per group rather than per person. Each tour shows its current starting price.
Is a private wine tour worth it?
For a couple, a shared small-group tour is usually the cheaper option. A private tour makes sense for families and groups, for a special occasion, or if you want to pick the estates yourself: you get your own driver-guide, pickup where you're staying and a flexible schedule. Private tours are listed separately on each page.
Do I need a car?
No. Most tours include transport and pickup from your hotel, the port or a central meeting point, so everyone can taste. France's drink-driving limit is 0.5 g/l — lower than in the UK or the US — so a tour with a driver is the sensible choice.
When is the best time for a wine tour?
Estates welcome visitors year-round, but spring to autumn is the liveliest period, with the harvest from late August into September. Many smaller estates close on Sundays and some reduce their hours in winter, so check each tour's availability.
How do I book, and can I cancel?
Tours are booked on Viator, which handles payment and confirmation. Many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start — check the policy on each listing before you book.
