Great wine tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The wineries had beautiful surroundings and delicious wines.

We had a wonderful time with our guide, Lucille. She was so nice, easy to talk to, loved a good laugh and was beyond knowledgable. She obviously knows the vineyards and the teams working on them well, as they all seemed like old friends, which made the tastings relaxed and enjoyable. The selections we tasted were all so different and amazing, a really great variety! Would highly recommend!

Our tour guide was pleasant and knowledgeable, easy to understand, and drove us safely to our tour locations. We were introduced to several wines of the region, given some of the history of the estates, got to taste them and had the opportunity to purchase the bottles we wanted. It was a great way to spend an afternoon as a group.

A fantastic tour of two wineries - one small family owned establishment (7th generation!) and a larger Chateau. Tomas was our guide, spoke great English. Was knowledgeable and even helped translate or add in interesting anecdotes at the wineries. Excellent wines. The bus was well air conditioned and comfortable despite peak summer heat.

Our guide Tomas was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. The first family owned winery was really interesting to learn about. I wish the second one was done more like the first. And it was a little weird we had to share our tasting with one other person and didn’t get our own glasses. But all in all, a great half day experience if you’re in Aix!

KARINA_R

The view and scenery were beautiful. It was great that it was a short trip with two vineyard trips. The first vineyard was my favorite and had delicious rose wine and a variety of selection tastings as well. The second vineyard had smaller samples. The guide was very knowledgable as well as the representative/vineyard person. They talked us through the history and wine making process.
