Would be 5 stars if it stopped at more than just one winery for a tasting. There is enough time for 2-3 winery and less time having to roam around Avignon.

A very nice, private tour to a beautiful organic winery, and then the historic city of Avignon. The tasting was great and the wine making process and terrior was explained in great detail by the sommelier. After that, Guide Laurent took us to Avignon, where he knew some great photo ops. We then had free time to explore the beautiful city, and had an authentic French meal. He returned us to our cruise ship in Marseille, very satisfied with our excursion. It was nice to see the ships massive, slow moving excursions, and not be part of that!

Laurent was very polite and quiet and was a good driver that took us to all the spots in a timely fashion. He was not educational but answered questions when directed to him. He was not flexible in terms of letting us use the leftover time to see marseille. He did not have water for us in the van. It would be nice if he turned on the AC in the the van a few minutes before we entered it. He was not knowledgeable about Avignon history or the French papacy which is the reason why we took the Excursion. The ruin of chateauneuf du pape castle had very little history description all in french and little description by loren. Winery he chose to sample chateauneuf du pape was small and did not offer a tour. Most of the picture explanations were in French so we learned very little. The tasting was on the level of a wine store trying sell their inventory. Our time at Avignon was ours to self tour and the lunch of rabbit loaf, foie grass, was average, and Loren did not give us suggestions for restaurants.

The driver Jocelyn was fabulous! He was very fun, an excellent communicator, accommodating, knowledgeable. Avignon was delightful and the wine tasting at Domaine Le Prieure Des Papes was very good!
Unfortunately, one of the other guests was clearly sick. She coughed constantly - she should have cancelled. It was extremely inconsiderate of her to subject the other 4 people in the van to her illness. It made the drive very uncomfortable for me.
